How to set "Timeout Settings"

Hi guys,
I need some help here with timeout settings..

I got a few complaints about my site timing out on the users, whilst they fill up the long forms on http://www.generaldirectory.org/submit.php and http://www.add-url-directory.com/submit.php

Hence I want to set the new time out settings but I do not know where to do that or even how to do that.. Can anyone show me the way??

Thanks..

Allan

 

You need to change the settings in httpd.conf file

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

 

Hi there,
Thanks for your help, but where exactly can i find that file? I m not so clued up about hosting side of things.. And what to do to change it?

Thanks..

 

SSH to server and su - to root

Enter

nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Scroll down, you'll find

Apache TimeOut 300

Code (markup):

Replace the 300 to any amount. Remember, its seconds.

 

And also, as you are using a submition, remember to change competitively the timeout value of Mysql here:

/etc/my.cnf

Good Luck.
