IE8 problem showing report

36 Views

I'm displaying a report on a asp.net webpage using the viewer that comes with Visual Studio 2008.

The report has a valid ole db connection to a sql sever 2005 database.

There are some parameters in the report, and when I'm browsing to the webpage, the parameter screen is shown. And after entering the parameters, the report is shown also after some minutes (sometimes it takes 10 minutes to complete) because the report is very complex, and there is a lot of data inside the database.

Because of that, I have set some timeouts to very large numbers.

- Web.config: <sessionState timeout="60" /> <!-- this is 60 minutes -->

- web.config: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096" executionTimeout="2700"/> <!-- execution timeout is 45 minutes -->

- iis connection timeout: 1.800 seconds

Now i've 3 machines that i've been using to test this report.

1: Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2, IE version: 8.0.6001.18702

2: Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2, IE version: 8.0.6001.18702

3: Windows 7, IE version: 8.0.7600.16385

Now on the machine with nr 1, the website will return after less then 2 minutes with the error: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

I've checked compatibility view settings, security settings - internet zone, and set the advanced setting: Show friendly HTTP error messages to false, but still i get this error message.

Can anyone please help me with this problem..
