For installation of phpbb, I need my timeout for apache to be longer, how can I do this? I've searched the internet for a long long time to no avail.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

The default timeout for Apache is 5 minutes.

If you really need it to be longer than that, see the Timeout directive in the Apache Docs.

Ok, thanks. But how can I go about changing that value? Embarassed

I've looked in the httpd.conf file, is that where it would be? or am I completely wrong?

sorry if the answer is right in front of me Embarassed

Normally there is no TimeOut directive in httpd.conf, so it defaults to 300 seconds (5 minutes).

If you want a different value, you must add a TimeOut directive to httpd.conf, like this:
Code:
TimeOut 600

It doesn't matter where in httpd.conf you put it - but make sure it is not inside any <Directory> or <VirtualHost> sections.
Adding it as the first line of httpd.conf would work.
