Configuring CGI Application Timeouts

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Setting the timeout value for a CGI application involves manually setting the CGITimeout metabase property.

For information about this metabase property, see the CGITimeout Metabase Property.

The CGITimout property can be set at a global level and at the individual site and site element levels. This gives you the flexibility to configure an overall CGITimeout level, and then customize the setting for individual sites and site elements.

If you will be editing this setting while IIS is running, make sure to enable the Metabase Edit-While Running setting. See Enabling Edit-While-Running in IIS 6.0 for more information.
