Can I change default_socket_timeout from my php co

Question

In my php script I restore db2 database backups. They are getting bigger and bigger. So now I was getting 500 Server Error after +-30min after executing the script. There was this line in (mod_fastcgi.c.3352) response not received, request sent: 634 on socket: tcp:127.0.0.1:9090 for /wrational/restoredb.php?mode=restore&database=RATIONAL, closing connection in php-errors.log file.

I thought that setting `set_time_limit(6000);1 would solve the issue but it hasn't.

Increasing default_socket_timeout in php.ini file did the trick.

Is there any way to change default_socket_timeout from php code?

Answer 1

beware of the fact, that php has a bug with default_socket_timeout and SSL. It will wait endless in case you use HTTPS/SSL.

Answer 2

With this PHP command:

ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 6000);

Or add/update the .htaccess file with this line:

php_value default_socket_timeout 6000

Check the current value with phpinfo()

Answer 3

you can add/update the .htaccess file line php_value default_socket_timeout 6000
