One of the most common questions on the forum is "How do I upload a large file?" or "The Repository is timing out. Why?". There's a default of 8MB or 110 seconds for an upload to occur in DNN. If either of those parameters are broken you'll get a timeout error.

You need to open up your web.config and look of the <httpRuntime.... /> under <!--allow large file uploads-->. More information on httpRuntime can be found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641.aspx

I am having very strange problems with the Repository module. I recently upgraded from DNN 4.4.1 to 4.5.5 and also upgraded all modules (except events). The version of the repository that I am using is 03.01.13. The repository module was working fine in 4.4.1, but now I am having problems. Any time I try to upload a file, the object record is written to the database, but the file does not get uploaded. I've changed the httpRuntime setting in web.config as follows:

    <httpRuntime  executionTimeout="600"
                               useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
                               maxRequestLength="50192"
                               requestLengthDiskThreshold="50192" />


These are not very large files. Each are between 3 or 4 mb and I can upload the files with no problem using Admin --> File Manager. I've even tried to upload very small files (40K), but I get the same results.

Additionally, I have 3 categories defined. When I try to upload a file, I select ONLY ONE of the categories, but for some reason the entry is assigned to TWO of the three categories. I have tried this repeatedly and get the same results each time. I have even tried to "edit" the entry by un-checking the extra category and clicking "update", but it does not change it.

The only way I've found around these problems is to hack the database. I have to:

1) delete the extra object/categories entries
2) upload the files using Admin-->File manger;
3) attempt an upload using the repository module in order to create the database object entry (but does not actually upload the files)
4) move the files I uploaded using Admin--> file manager to the repository directory
5) rename the files to the appropriate file name stored in the repository object record within the database.

Help! What am i missing?

I had problems in 3.2.2 with downloads. I found the recommended numbers were way too low:

Here are the settings I used to resolve them:

<httpRuntime
  useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
  maxRequestLength="1024000"
  executionTimeout="18000" />

 I am in the process of implementing a new Repository in 4.5.5.

In the default web.config for 4.5.5 there is no executionTimeout. So here is what I am going to try:

  <httpRuntime
  useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
  maxRequestLength="1024000"
  requestLengthDiskThreshold="1024000" />

If I have problems I will try this:

<httpRuntime
  useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
  maxRequestLength="1024000"
  requestLengthDiskThreshold="1024000"
  executionTimeout="18000" /> -->

executionTimeout isn't there by default and has to be added manually.

When it is missing does the default of 110 apply? I was pretty successfull in 3.2.2 with 18000 so would you recommend putting it back?

<httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
 maxRequestLength="1024000"
 requestLengthDiskThreshold="1024000"
 executionTimeout="18000" />
