I didn't see any replies, so I figured I say something...

Hello,
I run a cpanel machine with the following versions:
cPanel 11.25.0-R42404
WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9
CENTOS 4.7 i686
Apache 2.0.63
We have a client that is running a real estate website using a product
from Transparent Rets that connects and downloads a MLS (real estate)
feed to display on their site.
Transparent Rets has recommended we set the Apache timeout on this
site to 10000 seconds.
That seems ridiculously high. Almost 3 hours for a timeout? Is this a
third party that is connecting to YOUR Apache server and doing a GET or
POST on a page? Is it really expected to potentially take that long to
complete the request? Is there some sort of extreme latency or
unreliability with the connections between the boxes? If there is active
data being transmitted between the two system, then it essentially
"resets" the timeout counter, so this setting indicates a 10000 for the
following (from the docs):
1. The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request.
2. The amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or PUT
request.
3. The amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets in
responses.
I found a few automatically generated virtual host directives on my
server in the /etc/httpd/conf/sites directory so I copied one of those
and added the time out.
You should really determine which ones are actually being used by the
site in question instead of just adding things anywhere you see a
VirtualHost container.
First, if anyone could review my attempt to make a virtual host
directive I would *GREATLY* appreciate it.
Second, is there any way to verify the timeout has been increased for
this site, and only this site?
The docs state that the Timeout directive can be set within a
VirtualHost container, so that should work fine. There is no way that I
know of to verify it was set, but if the directive is within a
VirtualHost container, you should be good.
