Maximum request length exceeded

Question

When I tried to upload a video on my site I got this error: Maximum request length exceeded.

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

The issue is that the default upload file size is 4MB and to sole this just use this code in your web.config -

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

For IIS7 and above, you also need to add the lines below:

 <system.webServer>
   <security>
      <requestFiltering>
         <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
      </requestFiltering>
   </security>
 </system.webServer>

I hope this helps.
