Increasing the file upload maximum size

Increasing the file upload maximum size

I was not able upload a document of size more than 50 MB. It was giving document upload with status as failed.

This is because of the default configuration of 50MB for the corresponding web application in the SharePoint central administration website.

To increase the default file upload maximum size, follow the below steps.

1) Goto -> Central Administration
2) click on “Manage Web Applications”
3) Select (single click on the row) desired web application
4) Click on “General Settings” in the ribbon
5) Under "Maximum Upload Size", change the setting to the desired value (e.g. 100 MB in our example)
6) “OK”

If you are running IIS 7, follow the below KB article

Service Unavailable

While browsing the SharePoint web application, I got the below error.

Service Unavailable

The possible reasons why this error occurs are 

1) Your application pool for the corresponding SharePoint web application is down  (is not in running state)

2) You might have changed your application pool identity password.

Cannot connect to configuration database

While opening the SharePoint web application I received the below error.

Cannot connect to configuration database

The possible reasons for this error are 

1) You might have changed the application pool identity password.

2) The SQL server instance fro SharePoint is not in "running" state.

3) There is some network issue connecting to the SQL server database.

Error parsing XML, line 666, column 112 The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

While editing the blogger template html, I faced the below error.

Error parsing XML, line , column  The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

This occurs because you have character "&" in the html code. which you need to replace it with "&"
This has solved my issue and I was able to save the html

Web site worker process has been terminated by IIS error

 Web site worker process has been terminated by IIS error

You receive the below error
" Web site worker process has been terminated by IIS with error message" while you are debugging the solutions

This is because of the default timeout setting which is 90 seconds for the corresponding worker process (w3sp.exe).

In order to debug for more time without any error message follow the below steps.

1. Go to IIS Manager (Run-> inetmgr)
2. Expand the leftside tree view and click on the Application Pools
3. Select the corresponding application pool for the worker process you have attached in the visual studio while debugging
4. Click on the “Advanced Settings” in the right side of the pane.
5. Locate the Process Model section in the advanced settings dialog box
6. Set Ping Enabled to False.
7. Set Ping Maximum Response Time to a value that is larger than 90 seconds say 300 seconds.
8. Setting the “Ping Enabled” to False stops the IIS from checking whether the worker process is still running and keeps the worker process alive until you have stopped debugging the process.
9. Click OK 
   

Debugging SharePoint Web application in Visual Studio

1)      Debugging farm solutions (applies to MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2010)
