WebLink 7

Summary

There is an ASP.NET HTTP runtime setting that sets a limit on the amount of time a request is allowed to execute before ASP.NET automatically shuts down the request. Actions such as generating a large PDF or running a slow search may be affected by this limit. The default timeout limit is set to 900 seconds

More Information

Modify the HttpRuntime tag in the Web.config file.

To modify the HTTP request timeout

  1. From a text editor, open the Web.config file. This file is found in the Web Files subfolder of your WebLink installation folder. By default, it is located at C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\WebLink 7\Web Files.
  2. Locate a line that reads:

    httpRuntime executionTimeout="900"

  3. Modify the value to however many seconds you want ASP.NET to wait for a request to complete before shutting it down.
  4. Save the Web.config file.
