SharePoint file size limit

Question

I've tried many tutorials online on how to increase the upload file size for a SharePoint document library with no luck.

Any ideas on how to increase the limit of file upload to a document library?

I've tried:

Answer 1

I followed the 1st instruction from the 2nd link you provided:

1. In SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, Application Management tab, and Web application general settings configure the Maximum upload size to a maximum of 2047 MB.

and it worked fine.

Are you sure that you selected appropriate Web application when changing the maximum upload size?

Answer 2

Has anyone had any update on this? I am having the same problem where i followed the steps and it's still not working. The site that is having problems is on a clustered server so i found all of the web.config files and updated them, but still no luck.
