Classic ASP file upload limit of 200kb in IIS 7
During the process of migrating a site to IIS 7 we came across an issue with Classic ASP file uploads throwing 500 errors when larger than 200kb. There is an EASY fix for this.
In IIS 7, click your site and expand it then click the ASP icon.
Expand the Limits Properties icon, and change the value in the “Maximum Requesting Entity Body Limit” to a value larger than 200000 (which is about 200kb). 2000000 would be roughly 2mb, 20000000 would be 20mb.
Click the APPLY button. That’s it!
you saved me!!! thanks a million!!!!

I made bunch of files of different sizes to figure out that 200kB is the limit.
Thank you so much for showing how to change that!

I just migrated now in 2016 and had the same problem, now quickly solved
Thank you, very very helpful, and just in time! I migrated a whole ASP site to Windows Server 2008, IIS 7, and the “500 error” always showed up when I was trying to upload a document through the site.
Thanks its very helpful!
You are God. Bless you.

Thank you very much. I was stuck on maximum file upload size issue for a couple of days. This solution worked perfectly.
