Hi,after upgrading from httpd 2.4.10 to 2.4.12 I see intermittent "hangings" of "my" Apache server sometimes a day for very roughly 30 seconds (similar as with releases before 2.4.10). Presumably the problem is related to the communication with a self-written CGI script so I must further isolate the reason internally (but unfortunately for e.g. the "server-status"-page is also not accessible with that phases).
But now my real current question respectively observation: While analyzing the problem above using the module mod_cgid.so (and not mod_cgi.so) I changed also the values of the directive CGIDScriptTimeout embedded within the block <IfModule cgid_module> ScriptSock /var/run/cgid.sock CGIDScriptTimeout 20 </IfModule>but I couldn't see any effects: Always the value of the standard TimeOut directive was used by the server (tested finally also with the mimimal example "test-cgi" script simply expanded by a single "sleep" command)!
Has anyone seen this directive working correctly so that I must search further for a possible error in my Apache configuration?
By the way the syntax explanation within the Apache httpd docs http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_cgid.html#cgidscripttimeoutseems to me a little bit "unsharp" (ok, a liitle bit pedantically, but what is the default unit, what means "ms"?) and may be adapted for e.g. to
the clearer http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#keepalivetimeout Additionally two small observations: The syntax GIDScriptTimeout 20000 mswasn't accepted (that is ok, but it may be mentioned that no space is allowed between value and unit) but a time value (tested just for curiosity) like
GIDScriptTimeout 20smsmmssm was at least syntactically accepted. Regards Jens --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
