IIS 6.0: AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed influencing maximum upload size in Sharepoint 2007?

Question

The IIS MetaBase.xml file entiry "AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" can make any difference in uploading sharepoint 2007 files?

Answer 1

The AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed (and other ASP-specific settings like AspBufferingLimit) setting is an ASP (classic) limit. It doesn't affect ASP.NET or other web frameworks running on IIS.

Here is a short tutorial describing the steps that are necessary for increasing the upload limits of a Sharepoint 2007 site:

1. Increase the Web Applications Upload limit.
2. Increase the HTTP Timeout.
3. Increase the Execution Timeout and MaxRequestLength in web.config
