By default, DotNetNuke limits the size of upload to around 8mb. If you try to upload anything larger than this in Live Content (or any other module) then you may see the "Maximum Request Length Exceeded" error. Sometimes, you may just see a 404 Error (Page Not Found)

How do we get around this?

Locate your web.config file (that's in root folder of DotNetNuke installation)

Open the web.config file with text editor (such as Notepad)

Find the following tag:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="8192" />

maxRequestLength attribute is of interest to us; notice the value of 8192 which is in kilobytes (roughly 8mb). Change this value to a higher #; example, 21000 and you have now limited uploads to around 20mb.

Example:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="21000" />
