hello -
i am trying download a media file from the server. however, the URL is really a process running a convert utility being manipulated behind the scenes thanks to .htaccess rewrite.
the problem is sometimes the conversion procedure might take over a minute and we are getting a gateway timeout error.
is there a way in virtualmin to change the timeout? i read something about ProxyTimeout but was not sure in VM where it is or how/where to change it.
thank you.
Howdy,
Sure! You can change the website timeout in Server Configuration -> Website Options, and there you can change "Maximum PHP script run time".

thank you - i am certainly willing to try this, although the script is not PHP but rather node.js. would this criteria also apply to non-php scripts?
UPDATE: no change. i upped the number to four minutes and continue to get this:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /convertAudioFormat/ogg/. Reason: Error reading from remote server
funny thing - its as if there is a one-minute timeout somewhere and i cant figure out where it is. if the server process takes under a minute it works fine. but as soon as it goes over that one-minute mark, i get the proxy error.
i did find this in the apache httpd.conf file:
i am going to bump it up to 240 - is this something i should do in virtualmin instead? or should i even be messing with this?
