Apache Timeout Configuraton

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a timeout issue when performing a certain task in the admin area of a website, that is hosted on a VPS running VirtualMin.

I have Remi PHP8.0 in FPM mode, and Apache 2.4.6.

The task I am trying to do is reasonably intensive, and it times out after 60 seconds, and displays a 503 service unavailable error in the browser.

In the apache web error log, I see this:

[Wed Jun 15 17:04:48.463462 2022] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 22998] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: [client IP_HERE] AH01075: Error dispatching request to :, referer: URL Here

The PID 22998 is owned by Apache and displays the following command when I view it: /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

I have looked, but I can’t for the life of my find the website script running time setting. I’ve got a Maximum PHP script run time I can configured in Server Configuration - PHP options, but this is set a lot higher than 60 seconds, so I’m thinking there must be an apache one I am missing somewhere.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Craig

@cs10,

Where did you go to adjust PHP settings?

  1. You may have edited the wrong settings making them useless.

  2. It could be a memory issue, where the process is being killed off.

If you’d like some support diagnosing and addressing the issue I can be contracted for an initial session at an affordable Virtualmin exclusive rate.

Let me know.

Hi, thanks for replying.

The PHP settings were adjusted in Service - PHP-FPM Configuration, and they added settings to my config file in: /etc/opt/remi/php80/php-fpm.d/16081968184171.conf

pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 30
pm.start_servers = 15
pm.min_spare_servers = 10
pm.max_spare_servers = 15
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 1024M
php_admin_value[upload_max_filesize] = 20M
php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 1200
php_admin_value[max_input_time] = 2000
php_value[max_execution_time] = 2000

Ive added some extra config to my httpd.conf file as follows:

KeepAlive On
TimeOut 300
KeepAliveTimeout 300

@cs10,

Did you restart PHP-FPM afterwards?

@cs10,

In the same section you added Timeout 300 try adding ProxyTimeout 300 then restart Apache.
