Upload large files in forms

This article contains
NEW TO SITEFINITY?

Overview

When you have the Upload file form widget in your form and want to allow users to upload large files, you have to configure this in the web.config files of both Sitefinity CMS and the Renderer application.

IIS hosting

If you host both Sitefinity CMS and the Renderer application on the IIS, you must add the following configuration to the web.config files of both projects:

<location path="forms/submit">
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="6048000" executionTimeout="7200" maxUrlLength="102400" maxQueryStringLength="102400" requestValidationType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Claims.CustomRequestValidator, Telerik.Sitefinity" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483648" />
<!--2GB-->
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>

Standalone Renderer application

If you are running the .NET Core Renderer as a standalone application for testing purposes, you can configure the maximum file size limitation by adding the following code in the Program.cs file of the Renderer application:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using NewNugs;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Renderer
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
}
public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
{
//Large file upload
webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>()
.UseKestrel((x => {
x.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize = 2147483648;
});
}
}
