Where to find httpd.conf file?

[Rosa]

Hello,

How can I reach the file httpd.conf on a user level? I need to make some changes to the timeout configuration as I keep failing to upload a backup, but I've been unable to locate this file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Normally as user you can't change the httpd.conf file.
However, certain changes can still be made by a .htaccess file or you can ask your host to adjust some things.

Create a .htaccess file in your public_html directory with this content:

max_input_time = 300

If this still creates issues, your backup could be a little bit big. In that case there is a special upload script you can use to upload a backup or create a backup called Bigdump:
