"Maximum request length exceeded" when uploading files

Rafiq — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:36:45 GMT

I'm trying to upload a 6mb file via the MethodAPIUpdateFile method and getting back this error message:

"There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded."

Doing some googling this appears to be related to a setting in ASP.net called maxRequestLength which defaults to 4mb, which I'm guessing is how they have it confiugured because I can upload 1mb files fine. My server runs apache so this must be on the method end of things. The API documentation has no information about maximum file sizes for uploads so how am I supposed to work around this?

Same for me, doesn't matter what browser I use or if my cache/session are clear. The following errors are appearing in the Chrome error console which I'm guessing are the cause:

@Ashur - it's not a browser, cache or popup issue. I have tried it in every browser I can and am getting those error messages in all of them.
