    Hi! fun irc php page implementation!... and the test bot is cute. 

    My problem is that i get this after a few minutes of operation:
    ------------
    HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 16:05:28 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 186 Content-Type: text/html
    CGI Timeout
    The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.

    ------

    How do i remove or adjust the time-out?
    I am running IIS 5.1 on XPpro SP1.

    Thanks, astra

      hi astra

      your webserver has a maximum execution time.
      this is a resource-saveing feature which stops scripts with infinite recursions (mostly mistakes).
      i set my max exec time up to one week, because the php process must be running for more than just a few minutes in this case :)

      Thanks sarge_CH.  Now can you tell me how to fix the CGI timeout?  I found this dialogue, which makes it sound un-resolvable:

      http://www.phpdiscuss.com/article.php?id=54664&group=php.bugs

      But they're wrong, mid-this-letter i found out, go to properties of the WEB site in the XP IIS snap-in, choose the last tab, application properties, and you can adjust/disable the CGI timeout there.

      Thanks for you help ;-)
