How to increase apache timeout directive in htaccess

Question

How do I increase the apache timeout directive in  htaccess   I have a LONG   POST  script   that takes a user probably 10 minutes to fill in all the data   The problem is if it takes too long than the page times out or something and it goes to a webpage is not found error page   Would increasing the apache timeout directive in  htaccess be the answer I m looking for   I guess it s set to 300 seconds by default  but I don t know how to increase that or if that s even what I should do    Either way  how do I increase the default time   Thank you

Just in case this helps anyone else     If you re going to be adding the TimeOut directive  and your website uses multiple vhosts  eg  one for port 80  one for port 443   then don t forget to add the directive to all of them

if you have long processing server side code  I don t think it does fall into 404 as you said   it goes to a webpage is not found error page    Browser should report request timeout error   You may do 2 things   Based on CGI Server side engine increase timeout there  PHP   http   www php net manual en info configuration php ini max-execution-time - default is 30 seconds  In php ini   max execution time 60     Increase apache timeout - default is 300  in version 2 4 it is 60    In your httpd conf  in server config or vhost config   TimeOut 600     Note that first setting allows your PHP script to run longer  it will not interferre with network timeout   Second setting modify maximum amount of time the server will wait for certain events before failing a request  Sorry  I m not sure if you are using PHP as server side processing  but if you provide more info I will be more accurate
