but.. :( the server isnt mine!!. anyhow. what i was thinking of is the following: if apache is timing out as you said, then i would get the error after 5 minutes, not right on when i click the page. am i right? and lets assume i manage to convince my webhost to increase the timeout, which i can bet safely they wont do.. what timeout should the set? and dont you guys think that something has to be done about this? i mean. if all the people with apache servers are facing this problem then it is a real big problem! (( wierd thing is that i searched through the lists. and i barely found one complaint like this one )) Regards Louis > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 4:56 AM > To: LM; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned my > life misrable on apache server > > > 2 cents worth ./. > > You know - I had a similar problem.
