How do I fix this?

Answer 1

To summarize all the answers in a single place:

Rules:

• maxRequestLength (expressed in kb) value must match maxAllowedContentLength (expressed in bytes).
• most of the time your system.web section may already contains an "httpRuntime". set your targetFramework to the version of your .net used.

Notes:

• default value for maxRequestLength is 4096 (4mb). max value is 2,147,483,647
• default value for maxAllowedContentLength is 30,000,000 (around 30mb). max value is 4,294,967,295
