Thread: Timeout expired on search

Hi,
When searching on the admin and front end I get this error:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

Might want to take a look at the application logs. Also take a look at the db logs and see if there are any errors showing up.

I can say I have this same problem. I have dev box with a ton of products loaded on it and we can't seem to extend the "timeout period"

Is that a setting in IIS or the ASPDNSF code?

Chaz.

It looks like the server process expires before it completes the request sent from AspDotNetStorefront site. Timeout expired is usually cause by not having enough memory and that could be resolved by increasing your application pool's? Have your IT or host determine if the environment can be made suitable to host the website given the number of products/entities/etc you have.

on my Dev box I have 16GB of ram available and the app pool is has a memory limit set to 0. Is there another setting I can change?

thanks in advance.

The way I got around a Timeout Expired exception is by simply in the codebehind for that particular page, setting the Sever.ScriptTimeOut to some higher number (default is 90 seconds) and then on Page_Unload resetting it back to the default since it is a server-side variable and I don't want it changed for my entire site.

Here's the code for the page I wanted longer timeout period.

protected void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Save the standard timeout
standardTimeOut = Server.ScriptTimeout;

//Set timeout to 5 minutes (300 seconds)
Server.ScriptTimeout = 300;
}

protected void Page_Unload(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Reset standard server timeout after this page is done
Server.ScriptTimeout = standardTimeOut;
}
