Webservice taking long time to response

I have a client server application. My server is in PHP, Mysql and Apache and client is developed using C# windows Form. I have SOAP WSDL webservice for client server communication. Recently I found a problem, when my client sends the request, response comes after very long time (like 3/4 mins to some hrs.), and sometimes I never gets response. I have checked all the timeout value in client (httpwebrequest timeout, readwritetimeout) as well as server(timeout, keepalivetimeout) side, the max value I have is 5mins (for httpwebrequest readwritetimeout). So can anybody tell what would be the problem? Why it is taking hours to get response or not geting any response?

In my experience, problems like these come with the web-service connection being blocked by a firewall, or a wonky proxy in the way. Check that this is not the issue.

You should first begin be locating the problem by narrowing down the options. Have you tried calling the web service on the server locally, see if you get the same problem - if you don't then it is with high likeliness certainly a connection problem.

To also rule out the client having problems, try using something like http://www.soapui.org/ instead to call your server web service.

Where are you calling the server from? Are you sure the device you call it from is not being IP-blocked, and are you sure your web service is able to access its database from where it is being run.

Does the MySQL user defined for your server API to use have access from the IP of the server. MySQL users are often blocked by IP as well.

If you're running it all locally, are you sure your IIS Express settings/virtual folders are not jumbled up and the URLs are resolving wrong. Try creating the virtual folder again to rule out this. Even when running locally, remember to check that the MySQL user has access from your local IP.

Here's a few things I usually check when I have issues like yours.
