Uploading large digital goods file

I have run into the 4MB issue in the past but simply updated my web.config to allow very large uploads for my digital goods. This has worked fine but I now have a 66 MB file that is failing about 45% into the upload. My largest file prior to this is around 7 MB.
This is my setting in my web.config:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2147483647" executionTimeout="3600" requestValidationMode="2.0" targetFramework="4.5"/>
Any idea why this is happening? I have filled in both "File Name" and "Display Name" fields in the "Add Digital Good" dialog box.

maxRequestLength value is given in Kilobytes. For 100MB set maxRequestLength to 100000

It's been a long time since I setup my digital goods and I'm not using AC GOLD yet but I think I FTP'd all of my files into the App_Data/DigitalGoods folder (or whatever it's called) and then just referenced them from the digital goods config area.

In the time waiting for a response, I FTPd the file over to the server and then manually populated a new record in the ac_DigitalGoods table. That solved my immediate problem.
I did check and you are right about the max size is specified in KBs so I updated the web.config with the correct value. Note the value I used was based on a few different stackoverflow posts that incorrectly were using bytes, not kilobytes.
This is the line I used (for up to 200 MB):
Code: Select all
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="200000" executionTimeout="3600" requestValidationMode="2.0" targetFramework="4.5"/>
I tried a new upload of the original 68 MB file and it sure appeared to upload but on completion I get a 404 error code and the file does not appear in App_Data/DigitalGoods folder nor does it show up in the db table. I tried several other files and it seems like anything above approx. 30 MB will fail with a 404.
Here is the solution:
With IIS 7, you need another value in your web.config (see this reference:
https://weblogs.asp.net/pscott/404-erro ... -with-iis7):
Code: Select all
<security>
<requestFiltering><requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="200000000" /></requestFiltering>
<!-- maxAllowedContentLength is in bytes. Defaults to 30,000,000 -->
</security>
the maxRequestLength is in kilobytes. The maxAllowedContentLength is in bytes.
Further information is available at Microsoft:
https://www.iis.net/configreference/sys ... uestlimits and I learned that:
The <requestLimits> element of the <requestFiltering> collection was introduced in IIS 7.0.
The exact http status is 404.13, Content Length Too Large because I was not setting it and it defaults to 30 MB when not set.
Hope this helps someone.
