how you deal with script timeouts caused by huge file
uploads. Lets say I have a script timeout of 2 minutes and the user
uploads a file which takes more than this ...
Whats the best way to inform the user about this issue rather than
throwing the script timeout error.What approaches do you use for this....
What's the best way to inform a user if their session has expired? It seems like upon logging into the system, when the first variables are created I could create a session variable that just stores a number, and then at the top of every page check to see if that variable is empty or not, but I'm not sure. What's the best way to do this? And if that is the best way, do I just compare it to a string of ""? or null?
View Replies View RelatedI have a site that utilizes online forms. The problem is people could easily spend well more than 20 minutes filling out the forms before submitting them. To avoid the default timeout of 20 minutes (or whatever) I added a Session.Timeout = 120 to the forms page. I also checked IIS and set the connection timeout property to 120 minutes as well.
sessions still seem to be timing out well short of the 120 minute cutoff. (I haven't yet tested to see if it's still 20 minute default or somewhere between 20 and 120).
Is there anywhere else this setting might be controlled? Is there any simple way to do some sort of "keep-alive" from the page so that the server thinks it's active?
I have an asp page that is producing a report via some heavy SQL queries with
dynamically chosen parameters from the users of the page. I can run it on my
development server (takes about 35 minutes to produce) , however when it is
run on the production server it will execute for about 3 minutes, then bring
me to a Page Cannot Be Displayed.
I think this might be some sort of
timeout, but I have no idea as to how to stop it. I've changed the timeout
property of the Server, I have even put in a buffer flush if the client
isConnected.
I am using sql server 2000. From the asp page i am calling a stored procedure that does all the processing that includes:
1. create the query dynemically according to the selections made by the user.
2. run query
3. if records found, create a comma delimited list
4. pust that file on a file server, from where the user can then download the file
it return -1 if an error has accoured, 0 if no records are found, or file id if the records are found and file is written and moved to its location successfully.
i have increased the script timeout time to 800 ...
the default timeout for inactivity is 20mins, but in my application the clients are asking that if they are half way through an 'add a new record' page and disappear for 30 mins, when they come back the screen doesn't tell them they have timed out but lets them continue typing and its only when they hit 'submit' do they find out they have timed out. This then screws up the insert into dB type query and the data is lost.
So what I am trying to figure out is a way (using asp if possible) to count the timeout inactivity and 19 mins in to go to another page (timeout.asp) which tells them that the session has timed out and that any data has been lost etc etc, this will then provide a link to the login page.
The way the system is set up at the moment is that each page has a login script attached but is only shown if the session is valid, which has been working well.
Does anyone have any bright ideas/links/tutorials etc
I support several intranet sites one of which had NO STATE. Even though content has ASP extensions, it was all rendered HTML. Site had NO session or
application variables being managed. Site had no global.asa. IIS Manager
had site timeout set to 20 minutes.We had to add an ASP include to pages, and that ASP include contained our first session variable. Users then started complaining of timeouts and being edirected to logout pages because session variable evaporated. Users requested a 4 hour - 240 minute timeout. This was set in IIS Manager on site, and it didn't work. We added global.asa with timeout set in session on_start routine, and even though we could display the timeout variable at 240 minutes, if we wait 30 minutes and pressed refresh on page displayed, it took logic path indicating session variable no longer set.
i have first name and id of the user
i am trying to see how many times he logs on
so when he logs on i get his Loggedon count and add one to it
but the code times out when the second query is fired
any idea why Code:
I need run a few large queries for one time only. But I get scripttimeout.So I set up server.ScriptTimeout value. It works fine.But for one query, system gives me the following error:

Timeout expired
No matter how much I increase ScriptTimeout value, I still have the same error.is there a setting for SQL server timeout value?
I am having some trouble with internet explorer timing out. I have an asp page that writes all members email addresses to a second table and then I am using CDO to send them emails. I am using a function that waits 1 second between emails and then the page deletes that record.
I am sending close to 10,000 emails and everything is working fine, but when the emails are done the page is supposed to redirect. It does not and about half way through the emails it gives me a "page could not be displayed" error.
I have the script timeout set very high, do I think it is an IE setting, but have no clue and have not been able to find anything on this topic.
I'm using the following server:
IIS5 Windows 2000 SP4 2 Processor Hyper thread enabled.
When creating HTML files with FileSystemObject the ASP page often times out
(not every time though) and gives this error:
"The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can
change this limit by specifying a new value for the property
Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration
tools"
There are no loops on the ASP page. When IIS is restarted the problem
disappears for a few hours then starts again.
I have an asp script that insert information into a SQL 2003 db table. The script works for about the first 3000 entries and then give me a.....
DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied.
Obviously the server is there, since this is working for the first 3000 entries. I can then do a "where id> 3000" and run it again and it'll run about another 3000 then same error. What can I do to stop this error and have the entire process run?
I'm getting an error from something that seems too easy to cause
trouble. Here's the scenario. User fills out a form. User saves. On
submit, an asp script attempts to save the data. it deletes all of
existing child records, and then re-inserts new child records.
Heres the chunk of code thats bombing out with a 'Microsoft OLE DB
Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31' ':
'delete all children for this Parent record
strSQL = "DELETE FROM qcspec_is_tasks WHERE parentID = " & nRecID
debugPrint strSQL
cn.Execute strSQL
The print statement yeilds the following, before the Execute statement
dies:
DELETE FROM qcspec_is_tasks WHERE parentID = 20
If I run the above in query analyzer, it executes instantly.
Incidentally, at this point in time, the table is tiny. Its only 50
rows or so, at the moment.
I have a problem with sessions timing out while a student is taking a
test. This is a really bad thing, because the session times out and
then the student completes the test, but his answers aren't saved
because the server no longer knows who he is.
I know that if I lag too long at my bank website a window pops up and
tells me that I'm about to time out and to press a key if I want to

I have a database that stores our banner ads. When the connection times out (it can't connect to the database), the whole website errors out. How can I set it so that if it can't connect to the database, then display an alternate image, so that at least the website loads?

View Replies View RelatedI have a session timing out after 10 minutes.If the user clicks a
submit button to post some form data after the timeout has expired, they
are redirected to a login page...
Whats the standard practice for discovering what page they were
headed to and how can I make sure that the form data is posted to that
page so that no data is lost???
My assumption here is that the mechanism i'm using to redirect the user
to the login page, needs to pass the original destination as well as the
form data to the Login Form, and then the login form, once a proper
authentication is performed, would redirect to the original destination
allowing me to process the form data
I've been researching this issue with little luck. Here's the situation:
We have a few users on slow dialup connections who are posting data from
forms. Frequently, they get script timeout errors. We've gotten timeouts
from users with faster connections as well, so I suspected that the overall
load is overtaxing the server. But it does seem to be more frequent with
dialup users posting relatively large (>10K) worth of data from forms. The
Script Timeout value for the site is 20 seconds. IMO, it's seems quite odd
that connection speed could influence a server-side script timeout, but...
Question: When form data is posted, does the server begin processing upon
receipt of the first packet with the post request, or does it wait until all
packets have arrived?
Question 2: Is 20 seconds too short, or are there potential problems with
increasing it to, say, 30, 45, or even 60 seconds?

View Replies View RelatedI've developed a simple upload section of my site that allows the user to upload mp3 audio clips of new bands.
I've used AspUpload v2.0 as this is provided by my ISP, but even though these clips are no more than 500KB in size, the server is generating timeout errors.
I asked my ISP why this is the case and they said that the server timeout is set to 10 seconds so depending on the connection speed of the user who's uploading the files it will mean that they can only upload files of 200KB even on broadband.
Is there anyway round this?
the connection timeout in my IIS (webserver in a LAN) is now 600

I want to set the connectiontimeout to 3600 (1 hour) or may I set the timeout for 36000 seconds ? (10 hours) is this advisable ?
I got this error when i run the ASP. ASP 0113(0x8004005).The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceed. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
I'm using IIS 5.1. I changed in the IIS instead of the asp page as there is a lot. I went to IIS then my application properties and go to Application Configuration. Under the option tab i set the ASP Script timeout to a larger value. Default is 90 seconds. I had set it to 180 seconds. May i know will this affect the system to become slower? As the users said in order to display something in the application it take longer time than previously.
Can anyone provide a simple example of an ASP script that includes timeout exception handling?Specifically, I don't need to extend the timeout, or prevent it. I'm not
responsible for the DB, and I'm told that periodic timeouts will be unavoidable.
Inside my asp page, I want this stored procedure to run till it executes. I am somewhat familiar with the command.timeout = 0 but not sure of the exact syntax. My current code for this is: Code:
Response.Expires = 0
response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.Buffer = true
set conn = createObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open GetConnectionString()
Then comes the execution of my recordset here.
I am having a time out issue when multiple users are accessing the server. This time out does not happen all of the time. My understanding is that the time out value is actually set in two places. I believe one is in the asp pages for the session itself, and the other is more of a system timeout settting in IIS. Would one of these supercede the other if the two are different?
I have already looked at the time out setting in IIS, and it is set to 900 seconds. However, the actual timeout is happening in much less than 900 seconds, so either the setting on the asp page is controlling this, or the "900" is not really seconds but some other measure.
The problem with my script is tht when i submit, the loop never ends...
The table is displayed over and over again until Timeout.
I get this message too...
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
dim count
count =0
strSearch = Request.Form(txtSearch)
'get the selected software info

This may be a SQL error, but I suspect it's a connection string problem,
hence my posting it here.
I have an Intranet app at the company I work for. It's classic ASP, and
connects to a SQL Server 2000. Both the production version and my dev
version run on Win2K server boxes, with both the code and the database on
the same machine.
I wanted to set up the same app on my computer at home. My spare one,
actually, which has Win2003 as the OS. I made the alterations to IIS to
allow ASP, which is turned off by default.
When I go to any page which has an SQL query, say to build a dropdown box, I
get an ASP 0113 error. ASPfaq.com tells me that it's a timeout.
I know that the ASP code itself is running fine. That is, I can do a
response.write. But anything database related is failing with this error.
Here's my connection string, from an include file: Code:
I have an ASP web application that is written in VBScript, uses MS Access
2000 for record storage, and is running on a Windows 2000 Professional SP4
computer with IIS 5. The application can be started, have a record updated
and stored, and then terminate successfully on demand. I would like to have
the application remain active on the IIS Server without timing out, but when
I attempt to run it in that way, I receive a message (usually first thing in
the morning) of "An Eror Occurred - Your Session Timed Out". I have set the
Session Timeout feature in IIS to 1440 minutes, and the Server Script Timeout
feature in IIS to 1000000 seconds, but the application still times out each
morning.
Can anyone tell me what else I need to do to keep this application available
all day and all night?
