  • How to increase the maximum file upload size limit when using Microsoft IIS 7
Apparently beginning with version 7.0, Microsoft IIS has a built-in uploaded file limiter (really an HTTP content size limiter), and the default limit is 30,000,000 bytes (about 28.6MB).
  • Since DocuShare on Windows may use Microsoft IIS as the initial web service, this means that DocuShare will not receive file uploads larger than this limit (IIS doesn't even notify DocuShare of the upload attempt).
  • To increase this limit, one must set the requestLimits' maxAllowedContentLength to the desired value (as far as I know this limit cannot be disabled).
  • This can be accomplished one of three ways:
