Does anybody know how to increase the apache fastCGI timeout on MAMP / MAMP Pro? I\'ve looked everywhere but can\'t seem to find it.

Any help is appreciated as alway

Answer 1

I found another solution, which is a less hacky I think.

You can edit MAMP/fcg-bin/phpx.x.x.fcgi and add -idle-timeout 3600 to the exec line.

The result would be like :

exec /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/bin/php-cgi -c "/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php5.5.10.ini" -idle-timeout 3600

That actually works on my setup. Damn you FastCGI timeout error !

Update: For MAMP 4.x, you will need to enable Xdebug in MAMP PHP settings, save, quit MAMP and start it again (via https://stackoverflow.com/a/44341930).
