I have a upload functionality in my C# MVC application. When i am uploading the file below 3MB, it uplaods succesfully but after >3MB is throwing

System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded error.

I've tried changing web.config and below is my current one but still no success.

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" targetFramework="4.5" />

<security>
    <requestFiltering>

        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />

    </requestFiltering>

</security>

Any suggestions?

Is that web.config in the root of your website? Not one of the subfolders? – rene May 09 '18 at 12:08
You did see the answers [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3853767/maximum-request-length-exceeded)? – rene May 09 '18 at 12:08
Yes it is in the root of my website and i did see these solutions and tried all of them. – LeoNegi May 09 '18 at 12:08
You're hosting this in IIS? In a 7.x version? – rene May 09 '18 at 12:10
Right now i am tryin it on my local machine, but i'll be hosting it on IIS7 – LeoNegi May 09 '18 at 12:12
Can you try `requestValidationMode="4.0"` just to verify if that changes anything? – rene May 09 '18 at 12:14
Hey Thanks Rene for pointing out, it seems i added the changes in views web config by mistake. Issue is fixed now – LeoNegi May 09 '18 at 12:14
Okay, awesome ... you're not the first to make that mistake ... *whistles...* – rene May 09 '18 at 12:15
