I'm trying to upload a 20 meg file using the upload control and it's working fine on visual studio's built in webserver but once I publish it to the production server (which I have no access to) I keep getting the following error :
Server Error in '/' Application.

I've added the following to my system.web node so i don't know what the real issue is.
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="800" maxRequestLength="51200" />
Any direction on this would be very helpful.

The default maximum filesize is 4MB - this is done to prevent denial of service attacks in which an attacker submitted one or more huge files which overwhelmed server resources. If a user uploads a file larger than 4MB, they'll get an error message: "Maximum request length exceeded." Server Error in '/' Application.
HttpRuntime maxRequestLength Use the maxRequestLength of the httpRuntime element. The default size is 4096 kilobytes (4 MB).
The maxAllowedContentLength Request Filter is the maximum size of the http request, measured in bytes, which can be sent from a client to the server. Configuring this value enables the total request size to be restricted to a configured value.
If config file change doesn't work, please try to update property httpRuntime executionTimeout="9200" maxRequestLength="200000"> directly from IIS.
