Hi Guys

I am using Colfusion 5 on IIS5 server on win2k server, i want to upload a larger file up to 40MB, when i tried to upload large file 37.1MB , bellow error will come

HTTP Error, '503' occurred. 503 Service Unavailable. The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.  Please see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.5.4 error code definitions for more information.

Kindly suggest how it can be possible to upload file size increase to 40Mb ? and what is the limit of maxupload file size in coldfusion 5 ? Kindly help and advice.

Thanks

    It has been forever since I used CF5 or that version of IIS, so do a little research before proceeding.

    I believe there are TWO places that limit the size of an upload. One is a ColdFusion attribute, and the other is an IIS attribute. I think both of these settings need to be above the 40mb that you plan on uploading.

    Also, of course, you need to know if there is enough RAM and physical disk space to accomodate the file in question on the server, too.

    hi thanks for your comments, as i not found any way yet in IIS5 to increase the file upload size, else i increased the size in cf code.

    \upload\index.pacq
    so.addVariable("maxFileSize", "104857600");
    so.addVariable("maxFileCount", "1");

    Max file size, i increased it a lot but no success. Can you know how we can inrease the upload file size in IIS5 ??

    It doesn't look like a problem of size limit as you should get an error like "Post Size exceeds the maximum limit". Are you working on your own server or is it hosted somewhere? Looks more like a memory/process problem... can you give us details on which version of CF5 you're running and the server configuration (memory, etc...)?

    thanks,

    Cyril
