mod_fcgid: read data timeout

Question

My application have a process that runs once a day and it takes more than 5 minutes to finish.

Before it finishes, I'm getting these errors in the log file:

mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 301 seconds
End of script output before headers: index.php

I know there's several topics on internet about it, but no one solved my problem.

I have already tried these changes:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

max_execution_time = 3200

/etc/apache2/mods-available/fcgid.conf

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  FcgidConnectTimeout 9999
  FcgidIOTimeout 2300
  FcgidBusyTimeout 2300
  FcgidIdleTimeout 2300
  BusyTimeout 2300
  ProcessLifeTime 7200
  IPCConnectTimeout 2300
  IPCCommTimeout 7200

  <IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>

/etc/apache2/sites-available/myapp.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ...
        IPCCommTimeout 9999
        IPCConnectTimeout 9999
        FcgidIOTimeout 2300
        FcgidBusyTimeout 2300
        FcgidMaxRequestLen 10737418240
        ...
</VirtualHost>

After all, I'm still getting the same error after 5 minutes of execution. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it please?

Answer 1

Are you sure you edited the correct php.ini file?. It seems your application is being run from the command line.

Php files run from command line usually have a separate php.ini file. You can get the path to your php.ini file by entering php -i command from the command line.
