WCF MaxReceivedMessageSize property not taking

Question

Searched with no luck...

I keep getting

The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.

It makes sense, so I go into both Server and client config and make the change:

Client

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload"
           closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" transferMode="Streamed" messageEncoding="Text" maxBufferSize="65536" maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864">
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://localhost/services/FileUpload.svc"
          binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload"
          contract="CFTW.FileUpload.IFileUpload" name="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

Server

    <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload"

                 transferMode="Streamed" messageEncoding="Text" maxBufferSize="67108864" maxBufferPoolSize="67108864" maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864">

        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>

    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service name="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload">
        <endpoint address="~/services/FileUpload.svc"
            binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IFileUpload"
            contract="CFTW.FileUpload.IFileUpload"></endpoint>
      </service>

    </services>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
  </system.serviceModel>

I'm not sure why it's not working (otherwise I'd fix it:)). It's running on .NET 4.0 RC.

Try increasing the maxBufferSize="65536" setting in the client configuration.

Also, if you are hosting in IIS, then you may need to increase the maxRequestLength.
