Hi,

I have recently taken over our the administration of our blogs at work.  I have started blogging more because of this and I have run into an error that I now need to figure out how to fix.  When I try to publish a blog using live writer, I get the following error:

An error occurred while uploading a file via MetaWeblogAPI NewMediaObject.

CommunityServer.Components.CSException
Your post has been saved, but the attachment was not.<P>Your attachment exceeded the forums maximum size limit of The size of this blog file would cause the blog to exceed the maximum total file size. KB.

I believe this is due to the fact that I have exceed a quota for my blog attachements.  I've searched the community server forums and the web and have found several references to a "Blog File Storage Settings" settings tab in community server, but I can not find the option in my control pannel.  We are running Community Server Personal Edition verion 2.1.20423.1.  Is this feature new to 2007? Is it available in Personal Edition?  Can I modify the settings in the configuration files somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Josh

After some more digging I found the answer.  I was able to open up the Metablog.ashx file which showed the source code, from there the issue was trivial to solve.

Community Server was looking for two settings in the appSettings section of the web.config: BlogFiles_MaxTotalSize & BlogFiles_MaxFileSize.  I increaed there values and all is well again.

        <add key="BlogFiles_MaxTotalSize" value="102400" />
        <add key="BlogFiles_MaxFileSize" value="4096" />
