timeout problem

[yorks]

Hi all

I run a server running an ASP website. One of the functions which updates every user's details consistently gives a timeout error due to the large number of users involved.

How do I increase the timeout value using either ASP or a setting on the server ?

Thanks in advance

You'll have to go in to the Administrative Console, there should be a settings section under ASP server.

You'll need root access, I believe

You can adjust your session time out by creating a file called global.asa and putting it in the root folder of your website. Copy and paste the code below for your global.asa file. You can adjust the time, If you are still getting timeout issues and if you are on MS server 2003, I had the same problems and just went back to MS server 2000. Hope this helps.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>

	Sub Session_OnStart()
		Session.Timeout = 40
	End Sub
	
	Sub Application_OnStart()

	End Sub
	
</SCRIPT>
