CGI TIMEOUT Win2K / NT 4 Server Resolution
This is how you change it:
- Start the IIS management console (Start => Settings => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Internet Services Manager).
- In the tree on the left-hand side of the console you should see "Internet Information Services" at the very top, then below this the name of your computer. Right-click your computer name and select "Properties".
- Under "Master Properties" is a listbox; ensure that "WWW Service" is showing, then click the "Edit" button.
- Click on the "Home Directory" tab.
- Click on the "Configuration" button in the Application Settings area.
- Click on the "Process Options" tab.
- In the CGI Configurations area there is a "CGI script timeout" value specified in seconds. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
- Change this value to whatever you would like your timeout to be.
- Work your way out by clicking the "Ok" button on each window until you get right back to the IIS management console.
- Close the management console.
- Restart IIS by opening a command prompt (Start => Programs => Accessories => Command Prompt) and type the command:
iisreset
