ASP - Server.ScriptTimeout Problem

i'm sooo confused and stuck here.

i'm using SAFileup to upload files to an IIS server. whenever i try to upload anything over 1.5mb it times out. even when i've bumped up the server.scriptTimeout value to 3600!

tech support at the host (webcentral) say they have no problems uploading a 3mb file. I'm on cable uploading at 20k/s so it shouldn't take long to upload a 3mb file at all....

Below is the code i got from the host to test with. they say it works fine but all my uploads time out. I've tested it on a different computer and ISP (business ADSL) and still the same error.

<%@ Language = "VBScript"%>

upload_now = request.querystring("upload_now")

case ""

the error is:

error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/admin/file_upload/saf_test.asp
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.

It looks like you have the script timeout set to 700 seconds which is ruffly 12 mins. Are you taking longer than 12 mins to upload the file? Also is this just starting or has it always been this way? What I mean is could you ever upload files larger than 2MB?

i've modified my original post.

since i started developing on this site its been happening yeah.

arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Well I have no idea. Could you goto the website of who ever makes SAFileup and get support there?

fixeddddd!!

webcentral kept giving me test ASP files and the last one actually always worked

i think they decided to use an explicit path to the upload directory.

thanks for trying to help
