i have a website in windows server 2008. I'm using aspupload component. the upload works when the file size is small but fails when the size is huge.
Is there some settings in iis 7 that limits the upload size?

A quick google search for your component brings us to this page:
Which lists the following limitation:
files up to 2 GB can be uploaded
When I see a 2GB number like that, I'm inclined to think the limiting factor is a signed integer somewhere in their code. Replacing that integer(s) with a Long would greatly increase the supported file size, if you have the ability to change that code.

Hi Joel. thanks a lot for the reply.It seems to be working after i changed the timeout. But the progress bar is not appearing. im uploading a file of 300MB. the progress bar appears when the file size is like 20MB.I tried the same file on a windows 2000 installation and the progress bar works great. Im just trying the progress bar code inteh samples folder that came with the installation. Pls help

So does it return an error message or does it just hang and never get there? If you look in the IIS logs both for the website and in the global HTTPERR folder do you see an error code?

it doesn't return an error message. the progress bar opens in a new window and shows no progress. closes by itself in 20secs. but the parent page still uploads. let me look at the iis log n getback

I checked the iis logs no errors. dunno how the progress bar works fine for 20mb file.

Only other thing I can suggest (apart from contacting the vendor) is to view the HTTP traffic with a utility like Fiddler to see if that sheds any light on things.

i looked at the http traffic usign the utility.the progressbar in the popup screen comes from an asp page called bar.aspit refreshes to show the progress. it just refreshes for 5 times and then stops for the big file. whereas in small file it refreshes until the upload is complete.this is the main function called inside bar.asp bar_content = UploadProgress.FormatProgress(PID, TimeO, "#00007F", format)it returns nothing after 5 refreshes and the prg bar window closes. its' a dll.

Is it still sending the binary data though? It looks like you can control the number of refreshes using the 2nd parameter if so http://www.aspupload.com/object_progress.html.

AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed in metabase.xml for IIS needs to be changed.
This link should help.

Hi all
Thanks for all your replies. I got this issue fixed.
I went to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config
and added the following line under my website
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1000000000"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
thanks again
