Configuring IIS Timeouts

In this Topic ShowHide

The following instructions are intended for running Zend Server with PHP FastCGI on Windows.

Issue:

The default timeout settings for FastCGI, may cause runtime failures for scripts that run longer than 30 seconds.

Resolution:

If you know that you have scripts that run more than 30 seconds set your FastCgi and PHP to a longer script timeout duration.

FastCgi Settings:

This procedure describes how to change your FastCgi timeout settings according to webserver type and version.

• Apache 32bit:
  Open C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\etc and in ZendEnablerConf.xml the defaults should be changed to <Timeouts connectionTimeout="<Number of Seconds>" requestTimeout="<Number of Seconds>" />
• Apache 64bit:
  Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\etc and in ZendEnablerConf.xml the defaults should be changed to <Timeouts connectionTimeout="<Number of Seconds>" requestTimeout="<Number of Seconds>" />
• IIS 7:
  In applicationHost.config locate the following:

        <fastCgi>

            <application fullPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\bin\php-cgi.exe" maxInstances="10" instanceMaxRequests="10000" >

                <environmentVariables>

                    <environmentVariable name="PHPRC" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\etc" />

                    <environmentVariable name="PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" value="10000" />

                </environmentVariables>

            </application>

        </fastCgi>

• And change the following values:
  activityTimeout="<Number of Seconds>"
  requestTimeout="<Number of Seconds>"
