Maximum size of web.config in iis 10

Question

One of our sites has a long web.config - a little over the default max size for a web.config.

In windows 8 there was a registry key for the maximum allowed size of the web.config.

What is the setting in iis 10 (windows 10) to change this?

Thanks,

Ian

Thank you, it seems you need to add the configuration key as well as the item. Works a treat thanks. — Ian Jagger, May 12 '16 at 16:15

I recommend you to move Sitecore configuration out of Web.config file like it was done it latest Sitecore versions:

<sitecore configSource="App_Config\Sitecore.config"/>

It is more convenient and you should not change your registry.

Although I do agree with Anton that moving parts to get the config smaller is the best solution, you can find an answer in this post: MaxWebConfigFileSizeInKB and IIS 10

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\Configuration\MaxWebConfigFileSizeInKB (REG_DWORD)

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\Configuration\MaxWebConfigFileSizeInKB (REG_DWORD)

Did not test this myself ;)

I don't have Configuration branch under InetStp. That's why I have doubts. – Anton May 06 '16 at 13:44
Thank you, the configuration key didn't exist so I didn't realise that it was an addable option. – Ian Jagger May 12 '16 at 16:14
I've added the key and it doesn't help – bob0the0mighty Aug 10 '16 at 17:59
