Hello,

We are facing an issue with the File upload on our site. We are accepting 4 pdf files from the user one by one. We have set the upload limit to a little less than 2GB in web.config for the staging site. However, even if we upload files totalling up to 1MB, Internet Explorer is giving error as "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". The upload is working fine in Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome.

The entry in web.config says :

<httpruntime executiontimeout="300" maxrequestlength="2097151" />

Am I missing something?

Please help.

Thanks.

executiontimeout is 5 minutes. Is this sufficient to get the files uploaded? and 2GB using file upload doesn't seem to be a good idea.

I have increased those settings to allow my file to get uploaded. In fact, I am not uploading files of size more than 2MB.

You need to check out the logs to determine why the upload is failing. There could be various reasons.

Do you have exception handling in place? Check out the application logs.
Do you have access to the server your website is deployed to? If yes, the very first place to check is the Event Log. It usually contains detailed information. You may also like to check the IIS logs and httperr log file on the server.

Once you have detailed information about the problem, you can work out on the various possible solutions. :thumbsup:
