LiteSpeed timeout after 60 minutes in php script

[ShinJii89]

Hi,
I have big probem....
I have on server newest Alma Linux 8 and newest DirectAdmin, Litespeed 6.0.x
I need to have cron job script working more than 60 minutes.... it's not working like I need...script (PHP) in litespeed is ending after 60 minutes everytime.... I need to run it more than 60 minutes...
What I did and it's not working (with your tutorial in your website...):
Cron job command in DA:

/usr/bin/lynx -dump https://domain.com/crons/script.php > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &

Shell_exec in that above PHP script, I can confirm also max_execution_time is 0 in phpinfo() :

 set_time_limit(0);
    ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);
shell_exec(escapeshellcmd('/usr/bin/nohup /usr/bin/lynx -dump ' . $domain . '/crons/script.php > /dev/null 2>&1 &'));
echo date("H:i:s d.m.Y",time()).' - '.$domain.'- done<br>';

.htaccesses in root domain where are both script.php :

<IfModule Litespeed>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^crons/script.php?$ - [E=noabort:1, E=noconntimeout:1]
RewriteRule ^script.php?$ - [E=noabort:1, E=noconntimeout:1]
</IfModule>

Anyone have any idea why it's ending after 60 minutes?....

 

[ShinJii89]

I tried even in htaccess

RewriteRule (.*) - [E=noabort:1, E=noconntimeout:1]

and still nothing....

There is usually no timeout limit in the console, so you shouldn't have any problems in the console. However, it makes a difference whether the PHP script actually runs as cron or you run the script manually in the console, because then there is a SSH timeout.

Regardless, try this timeout code. This one works.

SetEnvIf Request_URI "^\/path_to\/script\.php" noabort noconntimeout

I run this by cron but in browser ;p so it's like you or me will trigger script in browser.
Where to put this code? in .htaccess? It has to be also between

<IfModule Litespeed>
</IfModule>

?

Yes, in .htaccess. If you only have LiteSpeed running <IfModule Litespeed></IfModule> is optional.

 

[serpent_driver]

If the script also aborts prematurely as cron, then ask DA. DA is weird in some ways...

 

[ShinJii89]

This one is ok ?

<IfModule Litespeed>
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^\/crons\/active_trainings\.cron\.php" noabort noconntimeout
    </IfModule>

Or this ?

<IfModule Litespeed>
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^\/crons\/active\_trainings\.cron\.php" noabort noconntimeout
</IfModule>

Because I don't remember if before _ also has to be \

Try both, but in case you don't know it.

1. PHP version in console or for cron is not the same as for the frontend
2. lsphp and LSWS is not in use in console or for cron
3. In console or for cron everthing is controlled by control panel, so your issue has nothing to do with LiteSpeed.

Like I said before - that cron is launched as a browser triggering script, it's not php-cli/console
Cron based on php-cli/console will not have timeout problems ;P

check this https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lsws...t-lsapi_max_process_time-environment-variable

In ProcessGroup mode, the LSAPI_MAX_PROCESS_TIME environment variable controls the maximum processing time allowed when processing a request (default 3600 seconds).

check this https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lsws...t-lsapi_max_process_time-environment-variable

I don't have it in "WebAdmin > Configuration > Server(or Vhost) > External App > your external application > Environments"... I guess because of DirectAdmin

<IfModule Litespeed>
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^\/crons\/active_trainings\.cron\.php" noabort noconntimeout

Both not working... again terminated after 60 minutes.... :///

Then it's up to the function of your script. Is shell_exec mandatory for the script?

Yes, because I'm running it in browser Lynx I can't for now use it with php CLI etc.

I found option "Connection Timeout (secs)" with 3600 value in Tuning menu in LiteSpeed admin... I changed it to 36000 and we will see if it helps... I'll let you know.

DirectDamin is only one of possiblities

https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:php#config

Control panel environment
If you use any control panel such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin , there is no extra configuration required since LSWS installation script will configure everything for you and you should be able to run PHP out of the box after installation. LSWS will use the same PHP version as Apache set on your control panel automatically.

https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:php:configuring-lsws-for-php

If you like the command line, you can set or modify the external application from LSWS configuration file:

vi /usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd_config.xml

Have you tried changing the behavior of Lynx with the connection_timeout parameter?

Or check this:
https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lsws/extapp/php/configuration/control/#max-idle-time

I think it's not because of Lynx - because if I run that script directly from my browser - there's also timeout after 60 minutes.
I'll check that max_idle_time option after that what I changed above in earlier post.

 

[ShinJii89]

Again 60 minutes and closed.....
@serpent_driver I think max_idle_time will do nothing because I have there value 60 - it's 60 seconds or minutes? If it's seconds then I think it will change nothing.

 

[serpent_driver]

The input for max_idle_time takes place in seconds.
