Changing Apache2.2.11 httpd.conf has no effect
- by Adrian
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help here.
I recently installed wampserver ver 2.0 with Apache ver 2.2.11.
My issue is, I have some large php scripts which timeout at the default 5 min (300 sec) browser limit (I'm using ie8). It is critcal I get this limit extended.
I have tried changing the httpd.conf file to include the following:
TimeOut 1200
My objective was to set the timeout at 1200 seconds, or 20 min.
I had just chosen a random location to place this directive within the httpd.conf file as I cannot locate any documentation to suggest it belongs in a specific place within the file. Regardless, the changes I make appear in the httpd.conf file that can be found in the system tray for wampserver, however they have no effect - the browser still times out after 5 minutes.
I thought perhaps I had the capitals incorrect, so I changed to:
Timeout 1200
This change had no effect either.
Can someone please help, this is very frustrating. Maybe the command can only be used within a specific module? If so, I have no idea which one, nor do I know the syntax to specify this.
Regards
Adrian.
