I have a site in Umbraco 4.7.0 developed a couple of weeks ago. Everthing has been running fine, there are plenty of uploaded files (images and PDFs), but as of today files over about 50kb will not upload.
Everything seems to be working fine: I'm using Chrome, and the upload percentage progress is displayed in the status bar. But when it gets to 100% the page refreshes and there's just a blank panel on the right: when I click on the node agan, everything is in the state it was before save (or save and publish) was pressed.
I've tried the same files on a sister site that was developed at the same time and with the same version, etc, and which shares a lot of code, and they upload fine.
Ok..then I'm going to ask you a classic question...could the permissions on the umbraco root folder have been changed somehow, which could then be the cause of this?
No, nothing seems to have changed. Permissions were originally set using a bat file, after the development site was moved to the production server: but most of the content has been uploaded since then, and everything's been working fine until now.
OK, finally – after hours of work – I figured out what it was: somehow, Request Filtering in IIS 7.5 for the domain in question had reset "Maximum allowed content length (Bytes)" to 102400, in other words just 100k! If anyone knows what might have caused this, I'd be interested to know: it certain;y didn't start off like, this, because the client had been happily uploading files for weeks!
Just had a related issue in trying to upload a 130MB video file (.wmv) to the Media section. 404.13 error indicated that my file was exceeding the content length - even though my web.config maxRequestLength was fine. This article was very helpful in showing how to set Request Filtering in IIS7. Note: I did not have a Request Filtering icon on my IIS display so I had to install the Microsoft Administration Pack for IIS 7.0 first.
Files suddenly not uploading

This is in web.config:
Hi Robin
Is there any chance that the server has run out of disk space perhaps?

Hi Jan
Unfortunately not: it still has >8GB
