I didn't see any replies, so I figured I say something... Chris Hall wrote:
Hello, I run a cpanel machine with the following versions: cPanel 11.25.0-R42404 WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9 CENTOS 4.7 i686 Apache 2.0.63We have a client that is running a real estate website using a product from Transparent Rets that connects and downloads a MLS (real estate) feed to display on their site.Transparent Rets has recommended we set the Apache timeout on this site to 10000 seconds.
That seems ridiculously high. Almost 3 hours for a timeout? Is this a third party that is connecting to YOUR Apache server and doing a GET or POST on a page? Is it really expected to potentially take that long to complete the request? Is there some sort of extreme latency or unreliability with the connections between the boxes? If there is active data being transmitted between the two system, then it essentially "resets" the timeout counter, so this setting indicates a 10000 for the following (from the docs):
1. The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request.2. The amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or PUT request. 3. The amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets in responses.
I found a few automatically generated virtual host directives on my server in the /etc/httpd/conf/sites directory so I copied one of those and added the time out.
You should really determine which ones are actually being used by the site in question instead of just adding things anywhere you see a VirtualHost container.
First, if anyone could review my attempt to make a virtual host directive I would *GREATLY* appreciate it.Second, is there any way to verify the timeout has been increased for this site, and only this site?
The docs state that the Timeout directive can be set within a VirtualHost container, so that should work fine. There is no way that I know of to verify it was set, but if the directive is within a VirtualHost container, you should be good.
