In the WebMin, I changed PHP configuration:
MySQL connection timeout? 180 seconds
Maximum memory allocation 256M
Maximum file upload size 2M
Can you help me how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Howdy,
Well, it appears as if your application is taking longer than 30 seconds to respond, so it's timing out. That implies some sort of problem with the application.
However, just to rule this out, you might try going into Server Configuration -> Website Options, and setting the PHP Execution Mode to "CGI".

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your kind respond...
I have changed the setting to CGI and still get 500 error...
Any idea to solve it... :-)
Kind regards,
Hi all,
Can someone help me to solve this problem...???
Thanks and regards,
You appear to be dealing with an application issue of some sort -- so correcting that will involve troubleshooting that specific application.
Your application is taking longer than 30 seconds to respond, so the key will be determining why it's responding so slowly.
That could be related to a configuration problem with your application, a malfunctioning plugin, or some similar problem.
Just to make sure Apache is working, you could create a test script with the name test.php in your public_html folder:
<div class="codeblock"><pre><code><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br /> phpinfo</span><span style="color: #007700">(); <br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></code></pre></div>And then access that test.php script from your web browser.
If that works, I'm not sure that we're going to be able to help you -- you may want to ask the support community for your application.
-Eric
Thanks for your kind help Eric,
I have create text.php and I can access the page from browser.
May I know what do you mean with application? I use Wordpress, do you mean its plugin?
If the problem come from plugin, what do you think If I delete all plugins from file manager?
Thanks for your time to help me.
Kind regards, Leo
Howdy,
If the problem come from plugin, what do you think If I delete all plugins from file manager?
Well, I don't know what the problem you're having is, if it's related to a plugin -- but since the test.php script works, it looks like the problem you're having is somehow related to WordPress.
So as a troubleshooting step, you may want to try removing one or more plugins from your WordPress setup (amongst other things).
I'm not a WordPress guru, so I won't really be able to resolve the issue for you, but I did find this FAQ here on how to disable WordPress plugins:

Hello all!
I had this same problem, and in my apache log messages appeared;
"mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 31 seconds"
"Premature end of script headers: index.php"
I solved my problem by upgrading PHP for PHP version 5.4.
Currently, to install PHP 5.4 on ubuntu is possible using the repository https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5
But I warn you, it worked perfectly on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 risking if you install on production server, you may have problems.
These are the steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5
You can check if PHP 5.4.0 is successfully installed with this command:
php5 -v
That's it!
