Set maximum allowed file size in IIS6
For IIS6 maximum allowed request length is 4096 in KB, which is about 4MB. By changing httpRuntime -> maxRequestLength should do the trick. More info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;295626
Can you post fragment from web.confg?

I've managed to get a server response now but it doesn't matter how high I set the length, it still fails.
Trying to send a form with some text values and a 6,67Mb file with a file uploader in the form
causes a "Maximum request length exceeded" server error after the upload reaches 86%.

This seems familiar. Could it be that you need to configure both maxRequestLength (under <httpRuntime>) and a matching maxAllowedContentLength (under <system.webServer>) ?

This is for IIS6, it does not have system.webServer elements - http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver.
Anything interesting if you enable every possible logging available? :)

The solution was pretty simple...
I needed to add <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="20480" executionTimeout="1200" /> in the very first <system.web> section in web.config and not in any location specific section.

Great success :), however you do have <httpRuntime> with maximum length in first system.web in fragment you posted. Therefore I tried to "look" for other cases. Anyway great that you solved.

I see that. What isn't clear is that it's from within a location specific section. Poor copy/paste, maybe it would have been clearer otherwise. =/

This topic was created over six months ago and has been resolved. If you have a similar question, please create a new topic and refer to this one.
I have a file upload control on a page. It works fine as long as the file being uploaded is below ~4-5Mb in size.
If a file above that is uploaded bad things happen.
The browser tells me the connection was aborted/lost/broken.
The request isn't reaching my code and no response is returned from the server.
I believe it could be some constraint on IIS6 that is causing this. I've tried setting the maxRequestLength in web.config but it doesn't help.
If anyone else have any ideas I'd welcome them greatly!
