    I have sharepoint server 2007 installed as a basic installation .. i tried to increase the upload limit for files by doing the following:

    1.In SharePoint 3.0 Central Adminisration, Application Management tab, and
    Web application general settings I configured the Maximum upload size to a
    maximum of 2047 MB. I was sure it was changed for the correct web applicaiton.

    2.In Internet Information Services on the properties of the virtual server
     I increased the Connection Timeout to 65000.

    3.I Configured the web.config from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
    Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\web.config 
    From:
    <location path="upload.aspx"> <system.web> <httpRuntime
    maxRequestLength="2097151" /> </system.web> </location> 
    To:
    executionTimeout="999999" maxRequestLength="2097151" /> </system.web>

    4. I changed the executionTimeout value in the web applicaton Web.config file to:

    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="999999" maxRequestLength="2097151" />


    5. I restarted IIS.

    I'm still getting an error when trying to upload any file larger than 50MB.


    The form submission cannot be processed because it exceeded the maximum length allowed by the web administrator. Please resubmit the form with less data.

    Can anyone help me with this problem??

    1. try disabling Quotas: Central Administration > Application Management > Web Application General Settings, "No Quota".
    2. you might have a trouble with web folders: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900
    3. try adding the following attributes for web.config tag: <httpRuntime executionTimeout="999999" maxRequestLength="2097151" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" requestLengthDiskThreshold="8192"/>
    4/ review your SQL configuration for possible BLOB size limitations or just HDD free space availabulity

    Thanks you for your reply,
     1. The quotas were already disabled.
     2,3. I did those.
    4. there is enough disk space. but how do i check the blob size?

    I would like to add.. that recently i had to rename the sharepoint server.. i renamed the server from windows server 2003 and i ran the following commands in sharepoint:

    stsadm -o renameserver -newservername <newname> -oldservername <oldname>
    stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domainuser> -password <password>
    iisreset /noforce

    Could this be related to the problem i'm having??

    Hi designxperts,

     

    Except for the upload limit, there are also some invalid characters which can cause upload failure. What’s more, using multi file upload UI will fail if all of the files being uploaded are greater than the single maximum file upload restriction.  The error you will see is that you've passed the maximum file upload limit. Please read the articles below for more information:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2007/06/27/file-name-length-size-and-invalid-character-restrictions-and-recommendations.aspx

     

    If this is not the issue, you may need to check ULS logs.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Lu Zou

    Is URLscan running on your server. IF so, you must also change dthe urlscan.ini to set the filesize other than the default 30Mb
