I'm new to Apache as we lost our guy that maintained among other things the 2 we have.
The one I'm working on is a component of our Digital Asset Management System, Artesia.
Our remote office has always had timeout issues due to latency and I'm trying to address them.
What I was attempting to do is increase the default timeout parameters in the httpd.conf file but ultimately found these in the httpd.conf-default file.
My questions are:
Is this -default file an inactive backup or is it live? I see the settings I'm looking for (below) in it and not in the httpd.conf file.
Or do I need to copy/paste these paramters out of -default and into the httpd.conf file? If so where in the body of the file do they belong? Do I need to restart the service after I do this?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 1200
#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 100
Oh, and keep a daily/hourly backup of each change you make to your config file(s)... This can save an awful lot of misery if you have a problem or delete the wrong file...
