Parameter
executionTimeout
maxRequestLength
Using Web Access, a user can upload a local file to the user's iFolder on the enterprise server. If the
file does not upload successfully before the interval times out or if the file size exceeds the allowed
maximum, the upload is stopped and reported as a failure. Because the Web browser is controlling
the errors, a problem of timing out or exceeding the maximum size might result in a Bad Request or
other generic error.
The Execution Time-Out and Maximum Request Length parameters must be configured with
compatible settings in the
iFolder enterprise server and in the
Web.config
must be the same size or larger than the settings in
server.
For example, the following code is the httpRuntime element with the default settings in the
webaccess/Web.config
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="720"
maxRequestLength="1048576"
/>
To modify the httpRuntime parameters:
1 Stop iFolder.
2 Set the httpRuntime parameters on the iFolder Web Access server by editing the values in the
opt/novell/ifolder3/lib/simias/webaccess/Web.config
3 If necessary, set the httpRuntime parameters on the iFolder enterprise server by editing the
values in the
4 Start iFolder.
For example, to set the time-out to 5 minutes (300 seconds) and the maximum file size to 5
megabytes (5120 KB) for the Web Access server, modify its httpRuntime parameter values in the
../webaccess/Web.config
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="720"
maxRequestLength="1048576"
