[FX.php List] 5 minute timeout?

Tue Aug 29 11:47:34 MDT 2006

David,

There is a similar setting in IIS.  I'm seeing it under the "Web Site" tab
under a site's properties window.  I don't know what the default is, but
mine's currently at 900 seconds.

IMHO section:
Though this option is there, I think you're on the right track with your
periodic flush.  It seems like the keep-alive setting could affect server
performance and since you're only using it on one (or a few) pages of your
website, it would be better to do what you can through coding instead.

David-

I'm not sure if you are using Apache or not, but if so you might want  
to look at your timeout settings there.  I had this problem a while  
back and had to tweak some stuff in the httpd.conf file.   I think  
the default "keepalive" connection is something like 300 seconds,  
which would explain your 5 minute timeout issue.  You can check this  
out by printing the results of phpinfo() and looking at the apache  
timeouts area.  Unfortunately, I don't have time to look up the exact  
setting right now, but thought this might be helpful.
