Apache Timeout Setting

A timeout value can be imposed in Apache by adding a parameter for ProxyWebsocketIdleTimeout (in seconds), but by default, with no override specified in http.conf, the value is 0 (infinite).

If using Apache 2.4.42 or higher, then two parameters can be added or changed in the httpd.conf file. These parameters are not needed in version 2.4.41 or lower.

Parameter Suggested Value Notes
Timeout 1800 You must add this parameter to httpd.conf as it is not part of the standard file setup.
Proxy Timeout 1800 This parameter is already in the httpd.conf and is set to 180. Replace with the suggested value.
