Internal server error

I am running several servers all with wordpress installed in them. When I try to update one of the plugins (Ultimate TinyMCE) which is a large wysiwyg I get an Internal server error 500. If I rerun the update several times the update eventually installs and updates. The error I get is below.

The problem seems to be “mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds”. Where can I increase the time out to allow enough time for the plugin to download?

[Wed Dec 05 18:51:13 2012] [warn] [client 192.168.0.1] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds, referer: http://xxx.com/wp-admin/plugins.php

Howdy,

It sounds like it may be timing out during the update process.

You may just need to bump up the timeout… you can do that by going into Server Configuration -> Website Options, and in there you can change “Maximum PHP script run time”.

I might suggest making that “45” or “60”, and see if that does the trick.
