A user is building a site that includes Site Creation Plus. In our "test" environment, the site creation appears to be timing out. I monitor CPU and there is definitely a surge of activity, but at almost exactly 2 minutes we get the ever helpful "An unexpected error has occurred." I think if we can extend the timeout, we'll be in business. Any hints where to find this?

Thanks,

Dave Deschere

Well, sort of found my solution. I changed all the IIS timeouts to 180 for all websites on all servers on my farm - and the screen still timed out @ 120 seconds. In a search regarding SharePoint timeouts, I came upon this article. I revised the setting for web.config as prescribed. It now takes ~4 minutes to generate the site, but at least it doesn't timeout!

Could I still get some guidance on diagnosing why the big performance hit?

Thanks, Dave

Dave:

Are you experience similar issues when creating sites normally with SharePoint aside from using Site Creation Plus?  Also, what version of Site Creation Plus are you using (Modify Share Web Part > About > File Version).

Thanks,

Jeremy Minich

  • No, we don't normally experience timeouts when creating new sites. This site, however, is rather involved with numerous document templates included in the site.
  • Site Creation Plus File Version: 1.3.1.0. Just purchased and installed within the last month.

Thanks, Dave
