Frontpage Time out issues
You can go through the following different solutions regarding the frontpage time out issues.
==========================================================================
Here’s how to get around the disconnection thing.
Normally you cannot FTP to a server setup without killing the extensions. But when publishing a large site do this:
1) Uninstall FP extensions on your host server.
2) FTP your website to the server AND STOP THE UPLOAD WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT 80% DONE! VERY IMPORTANT!
3) Reinstall FP extentions.
4) Proceed with the FP Publish process and choose “updated pages only” publishing option.
FP will then publish the remaining unpublished content and then plug in the extensions and your done!

Q. I keep getting the error: “The server ‘”‘ timed out” when I try and open Webs with the FrontPage client. Any solutions would be appreciated. Is there a way of increasing the timeout?
A. This is actually a server configuration parameter. You need to increase the timeout to a more reasonable value. For apache the default is 400 seconds which is about 7 minutes. You can set it to 1200 (20 minutes). This is changed by editing the httpd.conf file and changing the timeout directive.
Timeout 1200
Remember to kill -HUP your server so that it rereads the config file.
Note: In our server i see this value as of only 30, hence need to be cross-checked regarding this value.

A. This is actually a server configuration problem. You need to increase the timeout to a more reasonable value. You can add
Init fn=init-cgi timeout=”nnn”
where nnn is the number of seconds to wait to your obj.conf file, with the init statement block.

From time to time we have noticed problems with some of the webs we host. Normally on the larger webs the FP extensions (both v2.0 and v3.0) cause a timeout when opening the site in the FrontPage Explorer. Any suggestions?
There are three parameters which can be added to your frontpage config files (we80.cnf) which may improve the performance on your large webs. These are:
CacheMaxDocMeta
CacheMaxInclude
CacheMaxImage
The current defaults in MB are:
CacheMaxDocMeta: 512
CacheMaxInclude: 16
CacheMaxImage:16
You will want to increase these values to:
CacheMaxDocMeta: number of files in Web
CacheMaxInclude: size of the largest include file
CacheMaxImage: size of the largest image file
You should then recalculate links for your web.
