Override ‘Upload Files to Server Repository’ limit in Windows Machines / Plesk

October 13th, 2010

During the transfer of accounts in Windows Server, you might encounter errors while Uploading backup files to Server Repository.  This is due to a limit set by default. No problem, you can simply override it.

Pre-Requisites

===========

Windows Server / Plesk control panel access (through rdesktop)

Here we go >>

Steps

——-

1) I assume you are logged into the Windows Server which have the backup files to be uploaded.

2) You try uploading files larger than 30 MB and got stuck with

‘HTTP Error 404.13 – Not Found

The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.’

3) Solution is : Go to Start -> Run -> Execute the following command

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "PleskControlPanel/" -section:requestFiltering  -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:104857600
Done !

The only thing that needs your attention is that the figure given out at the last section of the command. Here  it is ‘104857600′ which is nothing but the representation of 100 MB in bytes. So change the figure according to your requirement.

For Instance 700 MB is 734003200 bytes.

Wishing you a Happy and Successful Transfer !
