Hi Kristian, Deleting the line will result in Apache using the default value of 300 seconds for the timeout. Generally a good idea to set this value to 0 (no timeout), or to a too large value as it can tie up computing resources and potentially lock out users from accessing the web server. But in your case where there is only a single user accessing the server it should be fine.
