Bug #6550 [Com]: max_execution_time appears to have an upper limit

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6550&edit=1 ID: 6550 Comment by: jazz at teleworm dot com Reported by: paul dot rees at surfeu dot com Summary: max_execution_time appears to have an upper limit Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Misbehaving function Operating System: Linux 2.2.16r PHP Version: 4.0.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Setting max execution time makes no difference There is no "timeout" setting as such in httpd.conf If you add php_value_max_execution_time in httpd.conf this makes no difference. Increasing timeouts such as stream timeouts (i.e. every timeout that exists in mysql php and httpd config files) makes no difference. Double checking correct placement of php.ini makes no difference. In all cases a timeout occurs after 5 minutes. 11-feb-2015 I would call this a bug. There should be 1 place and 1 place only for timeouts to occur that cancel operations. Either way it seems impossible to have a mySQL import that does not timeout at 5 minutes no matter how implemented as far as I can establish.

As far as I'm concerned, this is, in fact, not a bug at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-05 14:56:26] paul dot rees at surfeu dot com The apparent upper limit of "max_execution_time" that I reported was actually the effect of the "timeout" setting in httpd.conf.
