How Do I Increase File Upload Size?

Does anyone know what the max upload size is? I want to save some documents
with my reports, but I get the following errors:
"Maximum request length exceeded."
or
"There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file.
--> Maximum request length exceeded."
Thanks in advance,
-RGJIs the report server running on Windows 2003 with IIS 6? IIS 6 has a
security restriction of a default 4 MB file upload/download limit. This is
due to a buffering restriction implemented in IIS 6.0
(AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed setting in MetaBase.xml).

Yes, It is running on Windows 2003 with IIS 6. I have tried changing that
value, but no luck.
Here is the documentation I found on that setting:
he AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed property specifies the maximum number of bytes
allowed in the entity body of an ASP request. If a Content-Length header is
present and specifies an amount of data greater than the value of
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed, IIS returns a 403 error response. This property
is related in function to MaxRequestEntityAllowed, but is specific to ASP
request. Whereas you might set the MaxRequestEntityAllowed property to 1 MB
at the general World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW Service) level, you may
choose to set AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed to a lower value, if you know that
your specific ASP applications handle a smaller amount of data.
I also tried increasing the AspBufferingLimit which has a 4Mb limit to 40Mb
- no good
The AspBufferingLimit property sets the maximum size of the ASP buffer. If
response buffering is turned on, this property controls the maximum number of
bytes that an ASP page can write to the response buffer before a flush occurs.
Do you know if there is a setting in web.config that might override this?
Thank you for your assistance,

metabase edit / all­ow changes to MetaBase configuration while IIS is
running" before changing metabase.xml. Otherwise the changes will be
ignored! Also did you try to run iisreset?
You should also be able to do this from the command-line:
1. cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/aspmaxrequestentityallowed
2. replace 'get' to 'set' to configure the new value
3. then get again
Is it new or the old value?

You were close. Thanks for putting me on the right track.
I was able to increase the File Upload by following this article ..
====================================================
Upload Larger Files
By default, ASP.NET only permits files that are 4,096 kilobytes (KB) (or 4
MB) or less to be uploaded to the Web server. To upload larger files, you
must change the maxRequestLength parameter of the <httpRuntime> section in
the Web.config file.
Note When the maxRequestLength attribute is set in the Machine.config file
and then a request is posted (for example, a file upload) that exceeds the
value of maxRequestLength, a custom error page cannot be displayed. Instead,
Microsoft Internet Explorer will display a "Cannot find server or DNS" error
message.
If you want to change this setting for all of the computer and not just this
ASP.NET application, you must modify the Machine.config file.
By default, the <httpRuntime> element is set to the following parameters in
the Machine.config file:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" maxRequestLength="4096"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="100" />
The Machine.config file is located in the \System
Root\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version Number\CONFIG directory.
====================================================
I modifiedthe machine.config file and reboot - and it worked !!!
Thanks for your help,
-RGJ|||Thanks for getting back and sharing how you resolved it.
