Connection reset error trying to deploy WAR file

I just installed Tomcat 7.0.55 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Previously,
I was using Tomcat 6.0.32 (?) but I was having trouble running apps since
I've installed Java 1.8. Anyway, the issue I am having with Tomcat 7 is
that I am unable to deploy a WAR file via the Tomcat Manager HTML page. I
browse to the WAR file location and then click Deploy. I immediately get a
"Connection was reset" error and the WAR file does not deploy.

I think the reason lies in the following exception in the manager log:

SEVERE: HTMLManager: FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception:
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException:
the request was rejected because its size (62772907) exceeds the
configured maximum (52428800)
java.lang.IllegalStateException:

Is there a configuration parameter somewhere that allows me to increase
the allowable size? Funny, because I never got this error when using
Tomcat 6.

Thank you,
