Request Limit When Installing Package
I have just downloaded a package called Dialogue. It is around 40MB in size.

When i go to installt he package using the local package option i get the following error:

The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.

So as per the instructions when I googled the topic i inserted the following code into my webconfig file:
```
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>
```
I then go to install/ upload the package using the same options and get a similar error.

I am using IIS8 and The latest Umbraco through install on visual studio express for web.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

James.

I tried pasting the following code into my web config after the first configuration tag too:

<system.webServer>     <security>       <requestFiltering>         <requestLimitsmaxAllowedContentLength="2147483648"/>       </requestFiltering>     </security>   </system.webServer>   <system.web>     <httpRuntimemaxRequestLength="1048576"/>   </system.web>

To no avail :(

1048576 bytes is just 1 MB.
You'll need at least the size of Dialogue in bytes, so approx. 40 * 1024 * 1024 = 41943040

Hi James,

Try to remove the requestLimitsmaxAllowedContentLength, and set the digits on the httpRuntime instead. something like this:
```
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" maxRequestLength="52428800" targetFramework="4.5"/>
```
Hope this helps,

/Dennis
