IIS7 File Upload Timeout Issues [closed]

Question

I think I have two problems, though they might be related:

• Trying to upload a large file, it fails. Uploading small files works.
• After a while the session times out.

To eliminate the timeout I tried to configure that in web.config file. But it didn't seem to have any effect.

The site is hosted on IIS7.

Update:
I tried http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/ramon/archive/2009/03/13/how-to-enable-large-file-uploads-in-iis7.aspx

Changed the web.config as follows:

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="50384" executionTimeout="3600" requestLengthDiskThreshold="1200"/>

<system.webServer>
     <security>
       <requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true">
         <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="60000000"></requestLimits>

Still cannot upload 16 MB file: "the connection with server was reset"

Answer 1

Whilst I don't understand the second question, the first has a few options...

First off, see this blog entry.

Also if you're using classic ASP (rather than .NET) then you'll need to adjust the value against maxRequestEntityAllowed, which you can do through the command line with:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:asp /limits.maxRequestEntityAllowed:nnnn

replacing nnnn with however many bytes you want to allow.

Answer 2

Regarding large uploading, look up UploadReadAheadSize.

EDIT: IIS has various timeouts that you can set. See, for example, this link:
