Maximum request length exceeded

Symptoms
This error is thrown while attempting to upload a file through the admin site.

Cause
The file size exceeds the ASP.NET maximum request length restriction.  By default this value is 4 megabytes.

Solution
If you need to upload files larger than 4 MB, you can modify the web.config file manually to change the maximum request length.  Inside the system.web section, add the following element (where 4096 is the maximum request length in kilobytes):

     <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096" />
