I am using cfzip to zip folders on my server, anywhere from 2mb to 5gb.
Its timing out on a folder that is 1.25gb and I get the following error:
The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfoutput
It errors after 11 minutes and I have the following tag at the top of the page <cfsetting requesttimeout="99999">. So technically it should be waiting 1666.65 minutes before timing out, right?
It's dedicated so I can push it to the max.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks :)
Zipping something that size it probably going to take a loooong time. With a file 5GB in size, I would also think you would start to get outofmemory exceptions as well.
I'd be inclined to step out of the Java process, and use cfexecute to run it at a native level using the command line (should be easy enough with whatever platform you are on).
Dropping that also into a cfthread is probably a good idea as well, and then working out some sort of alert system when it is complete sounds like a good idea.
