How to resolve file size error for files whose size is larger than specified in web.config

Hi All,

I have been through loads of blogs over how to resolve this in ASP.Net but somehow something or the other is missing in each one that i see.

The approach that i am stating here is a generic solution to file upload size issue problem.

There are two ways out of this :

1. Use some third party widget that restricts the file size to be uploaded like slickupload.

2.Use the config approach that i followed:

There are lot of blogs which relate this on how to increase this file length size:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/uploadlargefilesaspnet.aspx

like this one.

The default size specified in various forums and blogs is about 4 Mb which is really less.

But here is the real issue: In DotnetFramework 4.0, you can keep this size as high as 4 GB but what if you want to handle the value exceeding the one in your web.config .Resolution is:

” responseMode=”Redirect” />

in your web.config.

You would also need to add,

maxRequestLength=”1048576″(Length is in kb)
executionTimeout=”3600″
/>

here i have set the maxrequestlength to 1 gb.

The thing worth noting is:

If the length mentioned in web.config for httpRuntime tag should be larger than or equal to the one mentioned in security tag under system.webserver maxContentlength . httpRuntime value is given in kb whereas the one mentioned in Security tab in bytes. This throws the desired exception 404.13 content length exceeded.

Another observation was ,if the value given in httpRuntime exceeds the one given in Security tag , this causes an Internal server error (500.X).

So, the value of maxRequestLength>=maxAllowedContentLength, so that this solution works.

A Monsoon Rain..

Far away where land meets the sky,
where every day says a goodbye,
where all earth seem to pass by,
lies a horizon where all birds fly,
color of dreams paint the inspiration cloud,
cloud is full of dreams that thunders loud,
drops of motivation fall to the reality ground,
soil of situation makes a growing sound,
water of hard work starts pouring,
seeds of a future then put souring,
crop of happiness starts harvesting,
farmer my mind ,thoughts come raining,
for this life to succeed and live on,
live a dream and smile full on!!

Friends in the Rain!!

When life becomes a pain,
freinds come as the rain,
they shower us with all things nice,
with friends life becomes cool as ice,
life that comes in little little slice,
lets play the game without no dice,
To all my buddies who are and will ever come,
Strangers are many but Friends become some,
When years pass by we remember the days,
the memories we made the notorious ways,
To all those guys and gals who made it worthwhile,
Because of you we have a life else wud have bee a exile,
All i want is for you guys to smile,
Remember me always once in a while..

Unkown Desire..

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:46:01 +0000

First thing in the morning came a thought,
whats a desire with which happiness is bought,
In no school,no college this is taught,
How a relishing cheerful smile is caught?
Days just pass,time just flies…
Memories are the one which never dies…
Deep down the heart a desire lies…
Desire to accomplishment,an Unkown Desire…
When I walk down the life’s path…
It feels like in Summe a water bath…
Sometimes it chills like the winter season..
Life is to chill,to live there is no reason..
These thoughts when unite and combine…
That is when Some feelings shine…
feeling of Unknown Desire which lives…
Life is Unexpected and It goes on…

Myth of Seasons..

We often wonder in life that this phase is good and this phase is bad.But I honestly feel that life is more like seasons.When one season comes all the scenario becomes specific to that season and then season changes.
As the Season comes it brings its own weather patterns with it.So does life does .Life has only two phases to be true one which we all like to have and which passes like the spring.lets call it the quick phase.And then there is a slow phase which we do not like because it makes everything go slow against our will.
Quick phase:
In this period or time we are achieving everything that we have wanted.We also get what we thought of,our desire come true.We got to put less effort for getting things done.
Slow phase:
In this period or time we are not achieving what we have wanted.And even though something is coming in front of us with a lot of effort.

This was a little about phases but the point is just like storms test the best of life.Similarly,it’s the slow phase of life which tests us like anything.

But after every storm seas becomes more calm..Once you can realize this in life ,You will understand a lot of things which we tend to never get in life..

The Rainbow Sight!!

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:45:00 +0000

Sitting by the moon,
From dusk till noon,
Kept coming the showers of light,
Watching over the sky a true delight,
Eyes captured the moment of glory,
when the rain end there will be a story,
A rainbow stretched across the dull sky,
painting it with colors making weather shy,
Clouds went dark but still sky stayed bright,
when life is full of rainbows things go right,
When you want to feel everything in sight,
Hold on to Qualities that you got tight,
Life is great when you give a fight,
In the End,Everything’s gonna be All right!!

Dreams in maah heart..

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:44:32 +0000

Dreams in maah heart ,aspirations in the mind,
care from the soul,leaving all fears behind,
truth in my words,sentences full of hopes,
sanity around me ,no affluent no dopes,
Will to stand by against the winds so strong,
Sails i have set to those dreams,my path stays long,
Many hurdles set forth across the sea in my way,
Test is of character when storms have the say,
No storm can break in from the emotions within,
A storm of strong devotion lies herein,
Deeds of good work,thoughts to reach the sky,
Across the horizon dreams of maah hear lie..

A Face in the Crowd..

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:44:10 +0000

A face in the crowd, A cloud in the sky,
wandering above the hot desert so dry,
winds so strong taking it high,
Flying with the wind is worth a try…

A little try is all that matters,
Dreams are fulfilled by go-getters,
doing it hard is not now the way,
do it smart is what i have to say..

A face in the crowd is all we remain,
Until we reach our goals till we sustain..
A sheep in a herd follows other sheep,
A hay in a heap is nothing so deep..

To reach the pinnacle we ought to try.
like the pains and still not to cry..
To be different ,you got to win..
winners never quit and quitters never try..

Sometimes in Life..

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:43:48 +0000

sometimes in life it feels from inside,
where is it taking me ..
will i have moments of pride..
deep beneath lies a sea of emotion,
when loved ones are far hurts separation..
for every victory and every joy,
there has to be a goal..you gotta move..
And better move not like the toy…
have a head and will to groove…
Dance of life ,steps you prove!!
When music match the steps you tune..
life becomes a memory..oblivion goes by..

Loss and Pain..

deepeshsomani — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:43:05 +0000

Loss and pain,moments of gain..
droplets of water coming in the rain..
breathing to live all air goes in vain..
years moving older moving like a train..

Long for me there had been a desire..
I have the glow to light up a fire..
For the torch of light to light brighter..
I have to hold maah hand a little higher..

Years go by desire remains unaccomplished..
as there is someone who has to get it finished..
Long felt emotions are trembling inside..
i dont know whether that lighter lays hide..

Some day that person will walk into my life..
i am waiting for that day on the edge of knife..
Alone its hard to now walk and it gets harder..
I wait for that person to get me across farther..
