In the httpd.conf file locate:

Timeout 300 (or default and change value in seconds.)

hi,
thank you.By default it's 300 ...the application works perfectly even after i slept night and in the morning i can resume from where i left ---unforunately session is still there.
is there anything that could override this configuration file.
My application uses mysql+apache+php does any one of these config. files affects the setting at httpd.conf file.???
