Azure Web Apps 500 - The request timed out in 4 minutes
<p>We have sitecore CMS (asp.net application) hosted in Azure Web Apps. On web.config the excutiontime has been set to 1 hour and the session and form auth is set to expire in 20minutes.</p>

<p>When I try to install the sitecore update package I keep getting error below within 4 minutes.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;500 - The request timed out.&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;  &lt;font color ="#aa0000"&gt;         &lt;h2&gt;500 - The request timed out.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  The web server failed to respond within the specified time.&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Appreciate if you could help me understand if there any explicit timeout setting on web app that that overwrite my web.config settings? If yes, how do we increase?</p>

<p>I had a look at few thread posts but didn't help:</p>
