Can not upload large files (>2 megs) to image field. "Cannot find server" message returned...

[Charlie@CBFC]

Hi:

I'm using the HTML File Field control as a file picker for uploading files
to a SQl Server image field. When page posts back to initiate upload, if
file is small (under about two megs) all is well. However, when I select a
large file, the default IIS "Cannot find server" page is immediately
returned. Weird???

Thanks,
Charlie

You probably need to increase the value of maxRequestLength in the
<httpRuntime> element of your config file.

You should be able to find a lot of information about this on the web.
