To quickly kill infinite loops within .aspx files on my Windows 2000
server I have set the following setting within my machine.config file:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="5"
...
I think this should terminate infinite loops after 5 seconds. 
However, it seems to have no effect on infinite loops. I have also
created a web.config file with the following:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
	<httpRuntime 
            executionTimeout="5"
	    maxRequestLength="4000"
         />
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
        <compilation debug="true"/>   
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Any idea why these are not terminating infinite loops on my machine
and how I can terminate them?

Thank you,
Chris

The scriptTimeout and executionTimeout are ignored if the debug
attribute under compilation is set to true.  Change this line:

<compilation debug="true">

To this line:

<compilation debug="true">

And it should at least give a timeout error eventually, but it may not
be exactly 5 seconds.

Thank you!

I set debug to "false" and the timeout now works. It takes 10-20
seconds, but as you said, it does timeout eventually.

Thanks again,
Chris
