BASE/ACID time out issue - HELP


Posted by ghostalker623 on April 14, 2005 07:22:28

When telling the program to delete info in excess of 10,000 items it times out. Items of around 200 or so delete just fine, but the larger ones time out. I get a CGI Timeout error and it says the process has been deleted.

Any idea where I would change this so that the app has enough time to delete these large querries? Samething happens on other types of querries.

Running the latest version off sourceforge (BASE 1.1.2 zora)

I did find this in the base_conf.php file but it doesnt seem to help. Original time was 60. However I dont think this is in relation to the CGI? I saw a php.ini and made similar changes in the Resource section (max runtime settings). It continues to time out in about a minute or two.

/* Sets maximum execution time (in seconds) of any particular page.
* Note: this overrides the PHP configuration file variable
* max_execution_time. Thus script can run for a total of
* ($max_script_runtime + max_execution_time) seconds
*/
$max_script_runtime = 600;

Please help I have to find out where to fix this so I can get these alerts gone!

Thank you!!

Are you running PHP in CGI mode instead of as a module? If so, what web server are you using as the BASE variable can not change it.

I've got similar question
when i delete 100000 alerts there is no message of timeout, but message page cannot be displayed (after 5 min delay)
and only part of alerts deleted. So i guess its also some kinda timeout happening.

im using acid/apache/php
