Hi,

before I submit a Bug report I wanted to validate if it's a bug or not.

I try to increase the max_execution_time for a test script. What I have 
done is to set php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 100 in the config 
for my pool. The `phpinfo()` output shows this value for 
max_execution_time. But the scripts displays an Internal Server Error 
after 30 seconds. The Apache has no limit sets.

Here is the simple script:
<?php

sleep(40);

 `phpinfo()`;

The Apache logs prints:
FastCGI: comm with server "/home/christian.kaps/fcgi.sock" aborted: 
idle timeout (30 sec)
FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server 
"/home/christian.kaps/fcgi.sock"

Some settings:
PHP 5.3.10 on Gentoo Linux
request_terminate_timeout = 0


Are there any gotchas which I haven't observed?

Christian

http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#fcgidiotimeout ?

The error in the *Apache* logs kinda means the Apache has hit a timeout, not PHP.

Thanks, this points me in the right direction. The problem was the 
-idle-timeout property for the FastCgiExternalServer directive.
