Maximum File Upload Size Error In ASP.NET Razor site

Question

I have built a video site using Webmatrix 2 but when I try and upload a min of two videos .webm and .mp4 (in this case both files add up to about 34mb) I get this error... "The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length."

The site is running locally on my machine with an instance of IIS 8. I have tried adding Maxrequest and executeTimeout without any luck.

     web.config <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2000000" executionTimeout="600" />

Any help would be appreciated

Given a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, and a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, the calculation is simple. — leppie, Feb 21 '13 at 08:56
Ok, I have increased the maxRequestLength to more than cover my 34MB still get the error. — NickP, Feb 21 '13 at 09:16

You need to multiply it with 1024 again, like I explained. 34816 is only 32 kilobytes. — leppie, Feb 21 '13 at 09:27
Ok I wasn't hoping for a maths lesson but a solution to the file upload error would be great. Thus 1024 * 1024*34 gives us 35651584? Which is what I have in my config file. — NickP, Feb 21 '13 at 10:26

For anyone interested I applied the following that sorted it out.

Read this article that explains it well:

<system.webServer>
    <security>
        <requestFiltering>
            <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="524288000"/>
        </requestFiltering>
    </security>
 </system.webServer>
