I have a file uploading site and am getting this error when trying to upload files larger than 400MB. Does anyone know where I can set this value? I also have ModSecurity Disabled for this account so I don't know why MS is catching this in the first place!

"Request body (Content-Length) is larger than the configured limit" - Anyone know where I can change the configuration limit?

Thank you

You need to increase the value for LimitRequestBody directive.

Setting it to 2147483647 (2GB) means 'unlimited'.

For details on this directive please read here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody
