[users@httpd] Timeout settings in Apache 2.2.19 web server

Hi,

Please advise the correct location where I should be changing the Apache HTTP web server timeout setting?

Many thanks..

Regards,


Further notes:

I have installed apache at the following location:

/u00/apache

I want to change the web server timeout settings. After doing some research, I figured that there are two areas where this setting is configured:

/u00/apache/conf/original/extra/httpd-default.conf
/u00/apache/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf

According to the docs in this link:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#timeout

the timeout setting is also set at the following file. However upon opening the file, it is warned not to make any manual changes:

/u00/apache/manual/mod/core.html.en

You should change this in the web server's configuration file.  You can 
find out what file this is on your system by running the command "httpd 
-V" and examining the value of the SERVER_CONFIG_FILE setting.  When you 
do this, make sure you invoke the copy of httpd that you have installed 
rather than a copy that shipped with your operating system or that was 
installed by someone else.

While one of these could be the file that httpd actually reads, the 
naming of the files ("original", "default") suggest that these files may 
be there for reference purposes only.

I looked at the link above but it does not refer to any files that I can 
see.  Also, note that core.html.en is a documentation file, not a 
configuration file, and so certainly is not the correct file to modify.

Search your configuration files for the Directive you want to change
(Timeout), then change it.

If it's not present, add it in whatever context you want it active
(inside a specific VirtualHost, or outside all VirtualHosts):
