Re: TimeOut (Apache Users)

60 is a good overall value, but as you said it yourself, setting it too low will cause problems with long running cgi scripts, set it to a logical value according to *YOUR* needs. There is no magic value for timeout, really.

Looking in the Security Tips document for Apache this is said …

The TimeOut directive should be lowered on sites that are subject to DoS attacks. Setting this to as low as a few seconds may be appropriate. As TimeOut is currently used for several different operations, setting it to a low value introduces problems with long running CGI scripts.'

The default is 60 seconds, I have had a discussion where I was told maybe 2-5 seconds is a good setting.

What is commonly used nowadays in 2.4 on robust networks and architectures?
