How to increase request timeout in IIS?

Question

Add this to your Web Config

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="180" />
</system.web>

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641(v=vs.85).aspx

Optional TimeSpan attribute.

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET.

This time-out applies only if the debug attribute in the compilation element is False. To help to prevent shutting down the application while you are debugging, do not set this time-out to a large value.

The default is "00:01:50" (110 seconds).

In IIS Manager, right click on the site and go to Manage Web Site -> Advanced Settings. Under Connection Limits option, you should see Connection Time-out.

To Increase request time out add this to web.config

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="180" />
</system.web>

and for a specific page add this

<location path="somefile.aspx">
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="180"/>
    </system.web>
</location>

The default is 90 seconds for .NET 1.x.

The default 110 seconds for .NET 2.0 and later.

In IIS >= 7, a <webLimits> section has replaced ConnectionTimeout, HeaderWaitTimeout, MaxGlobalBandwidth, and MinFileBytesPerSec IIS 6 metabase settings.

Example Configuration:

<configuration>
   <system.applicationHost>
      <webLimits connectionTimeout="00:01:00"
         dynamicIdleThreshold="150"
         headerWaitTimeout="00:00:30"
         minBytesPerSecond="500"
      />
   </system.applicationHost>
</configuration>

For reference: more information regarding these settings in IIS can be found here. Also, I was unable to add this section to the web.config via the IIS manager's "configuration editor", though it did show up once I added it and searched the configuration.

Below are provided steps to fix your issue.

1. Open your IIS
2. Go to "Sites" option.
3. Mouse right click.
4. Then open property "Manage Web Site".
5. Then click on "Advance Settings".
6. Expand section "Connection Limits", here you can set your "connection time out"
