Topic: 504 timeout error

[jacinthl]

i'm using apache2 to run php files in remote server.
the php files contain sql statements with too many loops which use to retrieve numerous amount of data to show as a report at client side.
thus, my client side ends up with 504 time out error.

i'm trying to solve it with setting longer timeout in httpd.conf file at server side. by adding 'TimeOut 600' at first line of the file, and restarted my apache2.

but, it was like no effect at all to the problem. The 504 timeout error still came out within 5minutes at client side.

Do you need the data from that new with every request? It might be better to request that url with a commandline script save the result in a file. And than then the local script opens that file instead of requesting the url itself.
