How to resolve Apex application error: "Could not allocate space for object..."

Sometimes the software will give an application error when you try to attach a document.

Application Error

Apex encountered a problem and will close

EDatabaseError

Could not allocate space for object "X" in database "Y" because the "PRIMARY" filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

This is because there is not enough space on the server.

You need to contact your IT manager to create more space or assist you in deleting unwanted files.

Please be advised that HTI does not manage your hardware or network as all PC, hardware or network configuration has to be managed by your IT manager. We can only make suggestions.

You receive an error similar to: 'Could not allocate space for object 'X' in database 'Your Database' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting auto growth on for existing files in the filegroup.' when browsing to your site.

Cause
Your database is either too big or had an artificial size limitation imposed on it by a previous host.

Resolution
The following steps require Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. If you do not have this installed on your local computer please follow the instructions at How To Connect to Your MS SQL 2008 Database and Disable Collation

1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
   
2. Right-click [your database] and select Properties.
   
3. In the left navigation window of the dialog box that pops up, select Files.
   
4. In the Autogrowth column select the ... button noted in the image below and change it to Unrestricted Growth under Maximum File Size.
   
5. Repeat step 4 for the second file type.
   
6. Click OK
   
7. Reset your site (reset the web.config file by renaming the files and saving it, then renaming it back.)
   

If you still continue to get this error, your database is over 4 GB in size.  You can shrink your database using the instructions at How To Truncate Your DNN Logs In Your MSSQL Database then follow the above resolution again.
