This is the situation:

  • Max-upload size is set to 100 MB
  • zip isn't in the list of blocked file types

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

The error-message that is given doesn't contain any error-number of error-message.

Try first a reboot. Also check that no time out occurs. You can increase the time out value in the web.config.

This may sound silly, but please make sure you have enough hard disk space on the machine where you database is located. If this isnt the cause of the problem, try increasing your IIS Timeout and the max request size in your web.config

Kind Regards

In addition to all the above, make sure the file name doesn't have any special characters in it like: & " : * ? <> # {} % ~ / \ Tab

  • The file-name only contains normal characters and a _. Thanks for the help anyway.

You must increase the max upload size both in SharePoint and in IIS.

  • I did this but this didn't solved the problem we're having. Maybe the IIS-server should get a reboot?
