maxRequestLength in web.config makes an internal error

Question

I want to allow my users to upload files with huge size so I change my web.config to this:

     <configuration>
     <configSections>
      <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings"    type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0,    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=" >
        <section name="delegatezanjan.Properties.Settings"    type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0,   Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=" requirePermission="false" />
      </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>
        <system.web>
      <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
         <assemblies>
          <add assembly="System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,   PublicKeyToken="/>
        </assemblies>
        </compilation>
       <httpRuntime/>
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="200000" executionTimeout="99999"/>
    </system.web>
    <system.serviceModel>
      <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="smsSendWebServiceSoap" />
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://aryanmsg.ir/smsSendWebService.asmx"
        binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="smsSendWebServiceSoap"
        contract="ServiceReference1.smsSendWebServiceSoap" name="smsSendWebServiceSoap" />
    </client>
     </system.serviceModel>
    <applicationSettings>
    <delegatezanjan.Properties.Settings>
      <setting name="delegatezanjan_ir_smsline_webservice_SMS_WebServer_Service"
        serializeAs="String">
        <value></value>
      </setting>
    </delegatezanjan.Properties.Settings>
     </applicationSettings>
     <system.webServer>
      <security>
      <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483648" />
        </requestFiltering>
      </security>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Before adding this part my code is worked, but after adding the the last 3 lines, my website returns a 500 internal server error:

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

2TB? Seriously? Just quietly, I think you may be a raving loony :-) In any case, you already have a system.web section yup near the top. Are you sure it shouldn't be in there? — paxdiablo, Feb 28 '14 at 12:09
so i change it to the top ,you mean i shoud put it in the top ?I did that before but the same error — SSC, Feb 28 '14 at 12:13
As pax said, you've already declared system.web earlier in the config file. Try moving it there. And try reducing the requestlength and execution timeout, those values are completely insane. There is a limit on the maxRequestLength of 2GB. Not too sure about executionTimeout. Oh, just saw your answer Selva, apologies! — BobbyDazzler, Feb 28 '14 at 12:31
You've also declared httpRuntime twice in your config. You have `` as well as `` — BobbyDazzler, Feb 28 '14 at 12:40
@MightyLampshade it works ,it was because of httpRuntime that i declare 2 times — SSC, Feb 28 '14 at 12:54

Putting it as the answer :)

You've declared httpRuntime twice in your config. You have

<httpRuntime />

as well as

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2000000000" executionTimeout="99999999"/>

The max limit of maxRequestLength is 2 GB (2147483648) and maxAllowedContentLength is 4 GB (4294967295). If you want upload huge files, then you can use some third party tools like Ultimate uploader to upload.

the value 2147483648 is invalid according to datatype int. Not valid int32. Max value is: 2147483647 – Dainius Kreivys Jul 12 '17 at 07:00

Many times by adding line

 <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="214748364" executionTimeout="9999" targetFramework="4.5"/>

gives 500 error

Please find out <httpRuntime /> Which is already exists in your web configuration file
