Increase squirrelmail timeout

Suirrelmail uses PHP so to do so you would probably haver to modify your php timeout setting.

php.ini as a general php setting.... its usually set a fait bit lower than 5 minutes though :-/ unless DA default is 5 mins?

Chris
 
This is for the DA people, do i have to change the php.ini's under the directadmin/customapache too?

This wont make any difference unless you are recompiling php / apache with php

Looks like it's probably this in php.ini

session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

So default is 1440 (24 minutes) which ain't too short.
 
Hello,

The php.ini is only written if the previous file doesn't exist. If there is already one there, it's not changed.

default_socket_timeout is more than likely the one you need ;)

socket timeout has nothing to do with what I need, I want session timeout.
 
If the problem was whilst you were downloading an attachment or such, then it would be socket you need to modify. The reason why phpMyAdmin often failes at restoring large databases is due to the socket connecton timing out with MyAdmin being unable to restore in 60 seconds)

Just to confirm the problem, you're logged into SquirrelMail, you're typing away, and when you click send you get the login screen?

I am not exactly sure, but it sounds like something like that. It's a customer that reported it saying that it was only like 5 minutes though. So not sure if squirrel has a different parameter for setting session timeouts rather than the php.ini timeout. Here's exactly what he said.

webmail is better, but it times out after 3-5 minutes... kinda sucks if you are in the middle of typing a long message - can you increase the timeout trigger?

Looking at that it appears the session timeouts are the problem, I had a feeling the problem was occuring during the downloads or large emails /attachments in which case it would of been the socket.

you may want to have the customer confirm this if the problem has not het been solved :)
