22.2.9         Script Timeout Error

Problem:

Script Timeout Error occurs when downloading, starting, database integrity check or other sections

Possible Causes:

Slow communications, lots of traffic or large databases

The default timeout in IIS is 30 seconds.  This is the time the Web Server waits for scripts to complete.  Large databases, slow communications or traffic may require longer time for WebAccess ASP scripts to complete

Solution:

Increase Script Timeout Interval on your web server (IIS)

a.      Open Internet Services Manager.

c.      Click Properties.

d.      Click the Home Directory tab.

e.      Under Application Settings, click Configuration.

f.       Click the App Options tab.

g.      Increase the ASP Script Timeout value to a number high enough to prevent script timeouts.
