delayed write failure
delayed write failure
- I am running WSS 3.0 on a win2008 webserver. The WSS DB is kept on sql2005 server running Win2003, SP2. All my workstations are WinXP SP 2 or 3. When I attempt to upload a file in the 40 MB or larger range I experience the write delayed error. Help!
Thanks,
Bob

- I found that I needed to insert the code at the bottom of the configuration section. This worked for me. Initially I placed the code at the top of the configuration section and I then got a "page not found" message when accessing the site.

- NEVER post the same question to two forums.I have deleted the duplicate sent to Setup/Admin.
FAQ sites: (SP 2010) http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com; (v3) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com and (WSS 2.0) http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com
Complete Book Lists (incl. foreign language) on each site. - I have 3 folders with numeric names in that folder... each with a config file... which one do I modify?
- GOT IT... thanks
- My GOT IT response was to Mike Walsh's message. I still have the same issue. I have cut and pasted:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
into the configuration file as stated on the KB 944981 article and it blows up Sharepoint so I've reverted back to my saved copy.
Any more suggestions? Hi
It seems that the modification to web.config didn’t succeed.
Please make sure that you follow the instructions in KB 944981 correctly.
By the way, you can also try the suggestions provided by Andre in this thread.
Hope it will be helpful to you.Best Regards!
