Occasionally when a user tries to connect to the myPHP web interface on one of our web servers, the request will time out before they’re prompted to login.
Is the timeout time configured on the server side or within their web browser?
Can you tell me how to increase the amount of time it waits before timing out when this happens?
Also, what logs can I look at to see why their request takes so long from time to time?
This happens on all browsers. They are connecting to myPHP in a LAMP configuration on CentOS 5.6.
Normally when you hit a limit on execution time with LAMP, it’s actually PHPs own execution timeout that needs to be adjusted, since both Apache’s default and the browsers’ defaults are much higher.
Edit: There are a couple more settings of interest to avoid certain other problems re: memory use and parsing time, they can be found at this link.
