mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds

mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
Premature end of script headers: index.php

Researching the issue I have set the

/etc/apache2/mods-enable/fcgid.conf
*/mods-available/fcgid.conf
*/sites-enable/site.com.vhost
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
IdleTimeout 300
BusyTimeout 300
ProcessLifeTime 7200
IPCConnectTimeout 300
IPCCommTimeout 7200
</IfModule>

If this does not help, then you should set this in the vhost of the affected website too by either adding or changing these settings in the vhost template or adding it in the apache directives field.

Where is the apache directives configuration?

This is on a 9.10 Ubuntu Perfect Server Configuration

Also, can I keep the same format or do I need to make any changes when adding those lines to the configuration?

Where is the apache directives configuration?

Site > websites > options tab

Ypo should be able to use the same format.

This worked, however, where can you set this as the server default? We have over 10 very heavy database driven websites.

Like all vhost related settings, you can set this in the vhost master template:

/usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/

Thanks so much. I spent hours looking for this.

Even with these modifications I am still getting the following error:

[Mon Apr 05 19:48:47 2010] [warn] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
[Mon Apr 05 19:48:47 2010] [error] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: http://www.website.com/index.php

Any ideas? I was under the impression that "IPCCommTimeout" was what was causing the timeout... But even setting it to 7200 didn't help.

This is so strange. I've tried several different PHP Settings:

Fast-CGI
Gives me the "mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds" error

CGI
I get this error "Timeout waiting for output from CGI script"

SuPHP
It works but does wierd stuff with my CMS

ModPHP
Can't upload files because it generates strange folder permissions.

This thread doesn't appear to have a resolution, and I am getting the very same errors.

Here's a sample of the error.log:

This is only happening on one website and it isn't the one with the greatest load. Machine is a quad Xeon, 16GB RAM, 1.2TB with separate array for the DB.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
