I am getting the following error on my website, however it is not occuring at the same place all the time.

Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0113 (0x80004005)
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.
/mysite/mypage.asp

it happens very randomly on my site, and i have changed the server.scripttimeout = 0

any insight?

Is there a looping on your code?

This used to happen to me everytime i have a while...wend statement specially when retrieving records from db. The script times out when I forgot to put movenext like this:

while not rs.eof
your code here
rs.movenext
wend

Don't forget the movenext or else your code will loop infinitely.

Yeah...but the weird thing is that if I hit Refresh, the code runs fine, and the page loads......Any thoughts?

if you send me the code, I will gladly have a look and see if I can find the problem!

Im not sure what to send you....i happens on different pages, at different times, with no consistancy. What shall i send?? My connection string, my code on the page??

I hate errors like this one

Just thought of something before you start sending code; do you set all your objects (i.e. connections, recordsets etc) to equal nothing after you finish - This caused some major transient (is that the correct word???- random) problems for me. It seems IIS does not free the memory.

Also using the file system object in my code with a norton anti virus caused random errors - I solved this by disabling the "script blocking" part of it.

If you have done the above, we can work out what I can look at for you code wise

Yeah....there are probly a few items that i havnt set to nothing after im done using them....ill have to go threw my code and find them all......

Debugging I go.

The page you is see was probably been cached into the browser.

Any luck?

not really sure if i am having luck or not.....I was still getting the error after setting all my variable to "nothing"

so i changed my server.scritptimeout = 9999999999 and now i dont seem to be getting it....

Weird

if you do this at the top of your code;
and this at the bottom
it will tell you in seconds (with alot of decimal places) how long the script took to execute. You can also find out where the bottle neck is by putting similar code round big loops or queries. May help.

Have you looked at why your scripts are running so long?

my script should take a long time to execute....it is about 1700 lines of code with multiple loops.

I guess i will just have to see if i can find ways to optimize this code and make the code as small as possible.

its just annoying.

just for the record.....when i use your session("timer") method

it comes up at about
25700
or so
