Error 404.13 The request filtering module is configured to deny a request IIS

Hello folks,

          You might have encounter an error while uploading files to the server

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

so what does this error actually means, and how to solve this error..

Basically IIS has defined a size limit for uploading file, by default the size limit is 30000000 bytes i.e. 28 MB. So when ever a user try to upload a file that is larger than 28 MB this error will come up.

In order to fix this problem follow these simple steps.

1. Click on start button and type inetmgr, this will open up the IIS Manager

Alternatively you can go to 

Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager 

     
     2.  Now from the right side window Double click on Request Filtering

     3.  Now Goto Rules Tab

     4.  Now right click and select Edit feature Setting

     5. Now set the "Maximum Allowed Content Length" according to your requirement

   
      6. Click on OK to finish

Note: It is recommended to restart the IIS after setting the value.

I hope this was informative for you and I would like to thank you for reading.
