When I publish my website to iis, timeout is not working.

Question

Hi all,

As the title says, after I publish my .net mvc to iis, timeout is not working. I tested it locally and it works fine.

I've seen in my Web.config file that I've set executionTimeout, but it still doesn't work. what did I miss?

Then I also found that there are Idle Time-out and Connection Time-out in iis. What is the difference between them and does it affect my application?

Hi @exwsx ,

I think you should first understand the difference between executionTimeout, Idle Time-out and Connection Time-out.

ExecutionTimeout attribute of httpRuntime element (in the web.config) can be used to change the request timeout duration for ASP.NET Application. executionTimeout value is specified in seconds. If your project is .net core mvc, then it should be the requestTimeout attribute in web.config.

The IdleTimeout attribute specifies how long (in minutes) a worker process should run idle if no new requests are received and the worker process is not processing requests. After the allotted time passes, the worker process should request to be shut down by the World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW Service).

The ConnectionTimeout attribute specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that the server waits before disconnecting an inactive connection.

Can you show me your web.config file? I need more information to help you solve the problem.
