Project "Metabase.xml"
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how to modify the Microsoft IIS 6 and 7 Metabase.xml file so that websites you may have can handle upload streams (such as uploading a file) greater than the default 200kb limit. There's a lot more you can do with the metabase, too.

STEP 1

(Enlarge)
  1. Locate the metabase.xml file on the web server; usually located at windows\system32\inetsrv.
  2. Open the metabase.xml file with Notepad.
STEP 2

(Enlarge)
  1. For IIS 6, locate the text "AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" and set to the value needed.
  2. For IIS 7, "maxRequestEntityAllowed" can be changed via the command-line via appcmd set config/section:asp maxRequestEntityAllowed:123456 (where 123456 is the actual value).
  3. NOTE: Before saving the metabase file, be sure IIS has been stopped. After saving you will need to restart IIS.
