Did you debug the code? Throw in some timers? Run some stats on your queries? I do not think that any of the process timeouts will do anything for you, but I think you already found that out. What have you done on the oracle side to test this? Is the root of the problem: It takes too long to get html? -OR- It does not return any html? In either case, logic points to either database query bottlenecks, OR looping queries. In which case, have you monitored your apache server as the page is being requested? Is RAM/Proc normal during the request? There is a remote possibility that something is out of whack in the php code. It is highly doubtful that apache is involved. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Smith [mailto:SmithCW@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 9:07 AM To: tim@xxxxxxxxx; users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Strange qustion - how to prevent apache delay? I removed the OT from the subject line, as I'm not convinced. What else would keep Apache from putting entry in log file for accessing the php script? Rather from taking so long to put the call in the access log? Turning up the Apache Timeout var did not work. Script is not eventually returning normally. It is as if it stops half way through and client never gets html back from cgi script that is supposed to. So, maybe turning up max_execution_time would work?
