System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out

I don’t know if there’s any underlying problem, but to solve the timeout issue you can specify the request timeout (in seconds) in the web.config, like this:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" />

For context, here’s a complete web.config with just this setting:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>
