For installation of phpbb, I need my timeout for apache to be longer, how can I do this? I've searched the internet for a long long time to no avail.
Any Ideas?
Thanks |

The default timeout for Apache is 5 minutes.
If you really need it to be longer than that, see the Timeout directive in the Apache Docs.

Ok, thanks. But how can I go about changing that value? 
I've looked in the httpd.conf file, is that where it would be? or am I completely wrong?
sorry if the answer is right in front of me |

Normally there is no TimeOut directive in httpd.conf, so it defaults to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
If you want a different value, you must add a TimeOut directive to httpd.conf, like this:
It doesn't matter where in httpd.conf you put it - but make sure it is not inside any <Directory> or <VirtualHost> sections.
Adding it as the first line of httpd.conf would work.
