Configuring PHP Timeouts under Windows Apache

To configure Zend Enabler timeout settings:

1. Open C:\Program Files(x86)\Zend\ZendServer\etc and in ZendEnablerConf.xml.
2. Locate the following text:

<Timeouts connectionTimeout="60" requestTimeout="120" />

3. Change the default settings as follows:

• connectionTimeout This variable defines the time limit for requests waiting to be handled by a free PHP process. Should the PHP execution time exceed the set value, the Zend Enabler will return an internal server error (HTTP 500) and the PHP process is interrupted.="<Number of Seconds>"
• requestTimeout This variable defines the processing time limit for requests handled by the Apache server. Should the FastCGI pool fail to deliver the content in the set time, the request is denied. ="<Number of Seconds>"

• max_execution_time This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. to <30 seconds by default>

• max_input_time This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data, like POST and GET. It is measured from the moment of receiving all data on the server to the start of script execution. to <60 seconds by default>

3. Click .
