Upload Video File Post size error

Joe,

I am using mojo 2.3.9.0. Login as administrator.

I am getting Error Event code 3004 Post size Exceeded allowed limits. When uploading file From Edit Media Player.

I tried files .flv, .mp4. The size is just 11mb.

If I ftp file the video runs fine. I have include mime type for the web site. The user account and IWAM account has write ermissions to the data folder. 

Thanks

AS

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

There's a documentation page here about Supporting Large File Uploads. Hopefully that will help you resolve this.

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Jamie, 

We are not using neat upload. When I uncomment <httpRuntime  maxrequestsizelimit ....  Line In the web.config file as provided by mojo It starts giving configuration error effecting all the websites. So what I am doing wrong. I just cannot upload any file more then 2mb. I can only FTP. I did read the documentation but not getting the answer. 

Thanks 

AS

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

There are some web.config settings that can limit this. See these settings, you may need to copy them into user.config and change their values to something higher.

<add key="UserFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="300"/>
<add key="MediaFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="6000"/>
<add key="AdminDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="12000"/>

<add key="UserFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="10"/>
<add key="MediaFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="30"/>
<add key="AdminMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="2000"/>

The bottom 3 are probably the main ones in this case.

Note that changes in user.config are not automatically detected so after setting them you need to touch Web.config to make it relaod settings.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Hi Joe,

 I added this in user.config

     <add key="UserFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="30000"/>
    <add key="MediaFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="60000"/>
    <add key="AdminDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="120000"/>
    <add key="UserFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="2000"/>
    <add key="MediaFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="2000"/>
    <add key="AdminMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="2000"/>

still I am getting this error if try to upload any file >3.9 mb in media folder or any user folder(that I Created). Upto 3.7mb I can upload anyfile in any folder.

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

4 MB is like the default IIS configured limit, but you can override it. Everything I know about it is in the article Supporting Large File Uploads that Jamie linked previously. 

Best,

Joe

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Hi Joe,

We are using iis6, windows server 3. We have increased the limit by updating aspmaxrequestentityallowed in metabase.xml.

My User.config file now is

 <add key="UserFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="30000000"/>
    <add key="MediaFolderDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="60000000"/>
    <add key="AdminDiskQuotaInMegaBytes" value="120000000"/>
    <add key="UserFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="20000000"/>
    <add key="MediaFolderMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="20000000"/>
    <add key="AdminMaxSizePerFileInMegaBytes" value="20000000"/>

I did touch web.config file.  Web.config File holds the old values. Still I cannot upload anyfile more then 3.7 mb from anywhere in mojoportal. I can only FTP.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

AS

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Its not those config settings causing the problem, based on the error detaill you posted its definitely IIS configuration or if you have any request filtering module installed in IIS it could be that but it is IIS refusing it not mojoPortal code.

Have you tried changing this in Web.config:

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxUrlLength="560" maxQueryStringLength="2048" />

by adding a maxRequestLength attribute as mentioned in the article about supporting large file uploads:

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxUrlLength="560" maxQueryStringLength="2048" maxRequestLength="2097151" />

this is an IIS configuration element that can be set in Web.config, though there may also be related things in the metabase that affect it.

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Joe,

If I change <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxUrlLength="560" maxQueryStringLength="2048">

  to in web.config file

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxUrlLength="560" maxQueryStringLength="2048" maxRequestLength="2097151" />

 then I get this error and the whole website goes down.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web></configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --><configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web></configuration>

Re: Upload Video File Post size error

Then your IIS is configured such that it doesn't allow overriding the maxRequestLength from Web.config, its locked down in machine.config, so you'll have to undo that in Web.config and solve it a different way.

Just google for "httpruntime maxrequestlength iis6"

to find out how to solve it
