iis - timeout

morem

hi all, please try to help me

how can i stretch the time, iis permit php to process one script?

thanks

try putting this at the top of your script:

set_time_limit(120);

replace the integer var to however many seconds you want, in this case if the above line was included in your script, the script would run for 2 minutes before timing out.

if you want an infinite script execution time (not recommended) call the above with 0 i.e. set_time_limit(0);

hope this helps.

hi
thx, but i have already used this function. the problem must be deeper rooted. the error message i recieved is about a cgi timeout...

i use ms-iis, for my webserver, but i am not able to find a solution to cure my from this error...

Reckon this is an IIS admin thing, not a PHP thing - it's not PHP getting bored with the script, but IIS getting bored with PHP.

yeah, thanks, but that is the thing i want to express with my own post, i do know that, but what should i do against that?
i also know this is an php forum not a IIS or MS one, but i hoped that someone here already recogniced the problem...

Sorry about the confusion.

Unfortunately I cannot offer anymore help on this one as I use Apache (I find it to be much more stable and robust than IIS).

My boss is a bit of a guru when it comes to IIS so I shall ask him when he arrives. If I get a result I shall post back.

Cheers.

Just a matter of interest,

what version of IIS are you using?

Cheers

Leon.

that would be fine, if you ask your boss...

i am using version 5.0 of iis with win2k

when you say that apache is more stable and of course configuratable (does this word exist?), i agree.
i had make up my mind to change my system to a linux one with apache... but i used the time this might take instead for coding... so i am looking for summer holidays... or the next winter...

sorry about that, my boss doesnt know.

As for apache, if you visit www.phpgeek.com you can download phptriad. Its a package that includes apache, php and mysql all in one. simply run the install on your windows machine and then edit the apache config file (httpd.conf) and set apache to run on a different port i.e. 8080 This way you can run both apache and IIS on a windows box at the same time. It takes no time at all to do.

So to access IIS sites you would use:

http://localhost/sitename/

And for apache sites:

http://localhost:8080/sitename/

Thats the setup I'm using anyway as I do both ASP and PHP development and like using both systems.

Hope this helps you

Cheers,

Leon.

Uhm

are you talking about the ConnectionTimeout Setting in the IIS Control Center. This one works well for me.

Start the mmc, add IIS SnapIn, Site Properties -> then change the Connection Timeout to a higher value (default is 900 secs)

cheers,
