Error uploading database (Windows Server)

[vishall]

Hi guys,

i'm moving my site to windows server but when i try to upload the database i get this error.




i tried changing the following limits in the php.ini but no luck.
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Add this to the sites web.config file.

<security>
     <requestFiltering>
       <requestLimits
           maxAllowedContentLength="4200000"
           maxUrl="160"
           maxQueryString="20"
           allowDoubleEscaping="true"
      />
     </requestFiltering>
</security>

If you are creating a new web.config file it should be like this:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
      <security>
         <requestFiltering>
            <requestLimits
                maxAllowedContentLength="4200000"
                maxUrl="160"
                maxQueryString="20"
                allowDoubleEscaping="true"
            />
        </requestFiltering>
      </security>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Adjust the variables to suit your needs. If you don't have a web.config in the root directory of the site use notepad to copy the above and save it as web.config in the root. Make sure you select all files in the save as dialog.

            <requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true" />
                  <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="4200000" maxUrl="160" maxQueryString="20" />
            </requestFiltering>

Post your complete web.config file. I think you already have some parts in it and what I am adding is causing the errors because of duplicates.

What you can do is rename the current config file and create a new one with the contents above.

I have uploaded a text file. Replace contents of current file with this one.

In that file I added an extra line to get more detailed errors.

Then we have to look to make sure Request Filtering is installed and enabled.

Open IIS manager. Select your website. In the left you'll see all features installed. Do you see Request Filtering?

If not use Server Manager to add the role to IIS.

Increase the numbers until it works. 4200000 = file size of 42M. If file size is bigger increase it to 420000000 which is 42G. Keep adding a zero at the end until it works.
