Maximum request length exceeded.

Question

I am getting the error Maximum request length exceeded when I am trying to upload a video in my site.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

It may be worth noting that you may want to limit this change to the URL you expect to be used for the upload rather then your entire site.

<location path="Documents/Upload">
  <system.web>
    <!-- 50MB in kilobytes, default is 4096 or 4MB-->
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" />
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <requestFiltering>
        <!-- 50MB in bytes, default is 30000000 or approx. 28.6102 Mb-->
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800" /> 
      </requestFiltering>
    </security>
  </system.webServer>
</location>

Answer 2

maxRequestLength (length in KB) Here as ex. I took 1024 (1MB) maxAllowedContentLength (length in Bytes) should be same as your maxRequestLength (1048576 bytes = 1MB).

<system.web>
   <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1024" executionTimeout="3600" />
</system.web>

<system.webServer>
   <security>
      <requestFiltering>
          <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1048576"/>
      </requestFiltering>
   </security>
</system.webServer>
