BUG: Error Message When You Upload a Large File (330809)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Content Management Server 2001
- Microsoft Content Management Server 2002
This article was previously published under Q330809 SYMPTOMS
When you upload a large file through the Resource Manager, you receive the following error message:
Page Cannot Be Displayed.
CAUSE
When you upload a file that is larger than the size that is specified in the Machine.config file, an error occurs on the server. Because the server refuses the request, the uploading browser reports that the submission page is not available and returns a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message.
RESOLUTION
Configure maxRequestlength in the Machine.config file for a larger size (in KB).
NOTE: Machine.config is typically located in <Windows_Root>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version_number>\Config.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
By default, the maximum request size for uploading files is 4 MB. You do not receive a user friendly error message when you try to upload a file that is larger than the size that is configured in the Web.config file.
