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
/opt/novell/ifolder3/web/web.config file
for the
iFolder enterprise server and in the
/opt/novell/ifolder3/webaccess/Web.config
file for the Web Access server. The settings in
Web.config
for the enterprise server must be the
same size or larger than the settings in
../webaccess/Web.config
for the Web Access server.
For example, the following code is the httpRuntime element with the default settings in the
../
webaccess/Web.config
file for Web Access:
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="180"
maxRequestLength="10240"
/>
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/webaccess/Web.config
file.
3 If necessary, set the httpRuntime parameters on the iFolder enterprise server by editing the
values in the
/opt/novell/ifolder3/web/web.config
file.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the values are the same size or larger than those set for the Web
Access server.
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
file:
Parameter Description
executionTimeout
The interval of time in seconds to wait between the command to upload a
file and the successful execution where the file is stored on the iFolder
enterprise server. The default time out is 3 minutes.
Default Value: 180 (in seconds)
maxRequestLength The maximum file size in bytes that a user is allowed to upload to the
server via the Web Access server. The default maximum size is 10 MB for
Web access. This maximum is a software hard limit. You can modify the
maximum length for any value up to 10 MB.
Default Value: 10240 (in KB)
