To avoid DotNetNuke timing out when you install large modules, you can increase the time out value in the web.config.

First, download your current web.config so you are working with the newest version. Do not use the one you originally uploaded, because DotNetNuke makes changes to web.config.

Increase the cookies time. You can find instructions here - Increase DotNetNuke Login Logout Timeout to Keep User Signed On Indefinitely

Increase the request time out using the following setting. Got these values from the Catalook manual. They worked when installing Catalook.

You might want to change this back to the original value when you are done. <httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="8192" requestLengthDiskThreshold="8192" /><httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="2097151" requestLengthDiskThreshold="50000" executionTimeout="9000" />
