Hi all!
First of all please forgive my ignorance and also if the following has been covered elsewhere.

Iam getting the following message when I try to access my site, which is a car related forums page - www.protongtiforums.com

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'

Script timed out

/default.asp

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.

Can anyone please give me a step by step instruction for a dummy on where I should be looking to add the following to my ASP page;

Server.ScriptTimeout = 180


I've been helped to a certain extent, but my knowledge is extremely limited where this 
sort of stuff is concerned.

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Jay

You need to increase:-

Server.ScriptTimeout = 180

The 180 is seconds, so if the script does not complete within 180 seconds you get the error that you see. You could try 300 which would be around 5 minutes.

Hi Bruce and thanks for the reply.

I am aware that I need to increase the server script timeout, as that was what I said in my initial post, in which I was asking for specific help.
How do I do it?
Where do I go?
Which page?
Where do I add the script specifically?

I am new to the world of managing and administering forums, so any help that you or anyone could giver me, would be awesome!

Thanks

Jay

You simply add it as one of the first lines in your ASP page.

Top of page

<%

Server.ScriptTimeout = 180

Dim strMyVar

Rest of ASP code......

%>
