Topic: Extending Time out

My web site is often not fast enough to update pages before the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark appears.
Is there a way to give it more time, a system variable to change, perhaps?

Re: Extending Time out

Setup => Company Setup => Login Timeout has a default of 600 seconds (10 minutes) - you can make it 86400 (1 day) if needed.

Re: Extending Time out

I meant when when I click "place invoice". If it takes too long to respond, it doesn't move on to the next page, and sometimes it has placed the invoice and sometimes not. If I continue it accuses me of opening the document twice.
If I change a date box, or customer name box, or just click "next" and my website takes more than a few seconds to respond I get the orange triangle and !, so I cant get to "next".

Bandwidth issue? Ajax does POST and refreshes part of the screen as appropriate.
What platform is your server on and what version of FA are you using?
Preferable to use the latest stable snapshot.

Re: Extending Time out

Line 285 in admin/db/maintenance_db.inc has it hardcoded - adjust to speed of server and connectivity:

    ini_set("max_execution_time", "180");
