PHP script timed out before returning headers

I was working with DirectAdmin and this time it was set to use suPHP (for some weird reason). Anyway, when trying to run a PHP script from the Drupal site, it returned an error: “Script timed out before returning header”.

Looks like suPHP ignores php.ini, so I needed to increase the timeout in Apache configuration, with the following steps:

vim /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf

Now, update the following line:

Timeout 60

To your own value:

Timeout 300

Don’t forget to restart apache:

systemctl restart httpd
