Maximum request length exceeded.

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

How do I fix this?>

If you are using IIS for hosting your application, then the default upload file size if 4MB. To increase it, please use this below section 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>

Note:

maxRequestLength is measured in kilobytes

maxAllowedContentLength is measured in bytes

which is why the values differ in this config example. (Both are equivalent to 1 GB)
