There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. Maximum request length exceeded

Question

I have a report part which deployed perfectly every time I made any changes until today. The report has around 20 links, and an image on it. I have added a table to it today, clicked deploy and it gave me the following error: ``` Error 1 There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded. 0 0 ``` As I say, all I have done is added a table to it and that has caused mayhem. WHY?

Accepted Answer

I faced this problem recently. There is a property called `maxRequestLength` which needs to be increased in the machine and `web.config` file which is in the following location.

```
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
```
