I found MetaBase.XML file in my system directory and I have been trying edit the property "ASPMAXREQUESTENTITY" in Metabase.xml.

It keeps telling me this property can't be found in the file.
I'm using Windows 2003 server and I am using FreeASPUpload to allow user upload photos to my web server.

The default value for upload file is 200kb, I want to set it to unlimited. How can I do that?

I have also enable this: "Allow Edit Metabase while IIS 6 is running" in IIS 6.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi u got the wrong property , it should be AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed. Try it change it from 200kb to maybe 1073741824 but I certainly dun recommend unlimited.

Yeah, that was my typo. I edited that property for like several times at first. Now I can't even find that property in that Metabase.xml.

Is is possible that I might deleted that property by setting the value to 100000000000000?

Yeah, I had to manually add that line in MetaBase.xml and it is working now.

However, I still find that strange that AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed="1073741824" line is disappeared after I tried to edit it several times at the beginning.

Thanks again for your help.
