How to add command line arguments to web2py when it is running as an application pool on IIS?

[Davidiam]

Hi web2py folks,

I would like to add a command line argument to the startup of web2py which is running on an IIS web server.  Can someone tell me the place where I need to add those parameters on the IIS?

Kind Regards,

David

I can't, but perhaps the archives can help.  One of the long-time masters, Simone, ran IIS configurations and sometimes discussed his setups.  Use the search string "https://groups.google.com/g/web2py/search?q=author%3ANiphlod" to see his posts.  (There are a lot; he did the Scheduler and also the JWT implementation, so you may want to refine the search.)

what command line argument, specifically ?

I would like to increase the timeout parameters to see if it resolves some issues we are having with internal server error messages.

the timeout is part of rocket webserver, not web2py. if you're running fastcgi, that's where you want to set a timeout: as configuration in IIS (see  python - How do I stop FastCGI process exceeding the configured request timeout - Stack Overflow  or something like that )

Good to hear from you again!  Keeping busy?

Thanks, I was out for a week and just see your reply now.  I will try that.

We tried the parameters that were recommended in the link of @Niphlod 's post, but the error is still occurring.  What is strange is the error occurs after only about 3 seconds, so there may be something else happening here.

I will try to get the developer to comment on this thread as he knows best what he is doing.

Kind Regards,

David
