Question

I am not sure if it is a bug or configuration error but I keep getting ajax requests “canceled” at exactly 120 seconds. No http response code given.

The server side is running on a LAMP stack and the php max_execution_time is set to 240 seconds using mod_php5

Oddly enough, if I request the same page without ajax, it won’t timeout after 120 seconds.

Early tests shows that firefox does the same thing.

Can anyone help with this bug/annoyance?

Sample code

set_timeout_limit(o); 
sleep(1000);

Answer 1

try to add timeout: xxx (in ms) to your AJAX call

example:

$.ajax({
  url: "test.html",
  timeout: 240000,
  context: document.body,
  success: function(){
    $(this).addClass("done");
  }
});
