Timeout uploading large files

[Guest]

Hi there,

I am having a problem with an ASP.NET 1.1 application running on II6. When
uploading large files, the attempt seems to timeout (in the form of a IE DNS
error) after about a minute even though I have adjusted the executionTimeout
and maxRequestLength attributes of the httpRuntime element.

<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="1200"
maxRequestLength="20480"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"
enableVersionHeader="true"
/>

Is there anything else that can affect this?

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

Welcome to the ASPNET newsgroup.

As for the large file uploading in ASP.NET web page problem, I think the
two settings you mentioned should be suffcient generally. And you can view
the following article since it also mentioned some other place which we can
try configuring:

#Large File Uploading in ASP.NET

Also, I suggest you try set the executionTimeout and to some larger value
for test. In addition, you can test the upload page from multiple client to
see whether this is a clientside specific issue.
