Hi, We have a blog in our share point portal which was running properly before few days. We get Request Timed out error while opening an item in the blog. The list contains about 3500 items [HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.] We were able to create a new item but not able to view the item. When we check the server SQLSERVR.EXE takes more than 90% of the CPU Usage. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks, Vanitha

Hi Vanitha, Increase Timeout Session on Sharepoint IIS properties, Expand IIS web siteas, on right click select properties, select web site Tab under connections add the time you want for increase timeout. On IIS properties "ASP.NET" tab edit configuration and on 3 or 4 tab have a option to change timeoutsession default value and increase value. Please let us know if this will resolve the issue or not Warm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Hi, According to your description, Please check the RAM allocated to your SQL server. MOSS server needs 2GB RAM to preform well. SQL requires 2GB RAM for optimum performance. Messages like this are mainly due to lack of RAM Allocation. Best Regards David Hu

Hi Vanitha, From the problem description it is clear that you are using a large list(More than 2000 items). I recommend you to go through this link for optimization http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262813(office.12).aspx Thanks, Rahul Rashu
