Asp.Net MVC Upload a Video File Size Greater than 2MB

Question

I has a one API Solution(Target Framework 4.0) and one MVC Solution(Target Framework 4.5.1) of job portal. In profile summery I need to upload a video but the problem I faced , I can not upload a video file which size is greater than 2MB. So, I search on internet and find a solution is that change the web.config on Api Solutions with this as mension below,

Web.config
<system.web>
 <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
 <httpRuntime executionTimeout="108000" maxRequestLength="2147483647"/>
</system.web>
 <system.webServer>
    <!-- maxAllowedContentLength = 2GB (the value is in Bytes) -->
    <security>
      <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483647" />
      </requestFiltering>
    </security>
</system.webServer>

after apply this same problem occurred "Failed!The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."

Here my Controller Code on MVC solutions CandidateController

 #region UPDATE CANDIDATE PROFILE SUMMERY
        [HttpPost]
        public string UpdateProfileSummery(string info)

            string Res = "";

WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.UseKestrel(options =>
{
    options.Limits.MaxRequestBodySize = 52428800; //50MB
});
