Premature end of script headers: index.php, mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 61 seconds

Viewed 120 times

I wrote a simple crawling script (in php) at localhost (with 4 variations). All of them worked fine at localhost. But when I made move them to shared hosting, two of them worked others gave internal server error. I looked at error_log and I saw these line:

[Wed Jan 23 22:01:02 2013] [warn] [client ***] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 61 seconds
[Wed Jan 23 22:01:02 2013] [error] [client ***] Premature end of script headers: index.php

I searched but I couldn't find any useful result. What is related to these errors? Any ideas?

If you can access Linux server please edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf file with vim.
Change FcgidIOTimeout 45 to FcgidIOTimeout 600.
Restart Apache.
Then Fast CGI timeout will be solved.

It was a file permission issue.

All files on my website were set to a permission level of '644.' Once I changed the permission level to 705 (chmod 705) everything worked. Note that I changed it to 705, but 755 will also work. I also changed the folder it was in to 701 (to hide it, but still be executable by the server).

Aside: I still don't understand why my .PHP file worked on the other server when it was probably set to 644?? How could Apache execute the script without world permission?? Does Apache not need world permission?? Just a few questions I still have...

You need three things:

Inside <Directory>, allow .htaccess files with AllowOverride All.
Give the required permissions of mod_rewrite with Options FollowSymLinks.
Inside the .htaccess, include RewriteBase /test/.

Premature end of script headers means that webserver's timeout for CGI scripts was exceeded by your script. This is a webserver timeout and it has nothing to do with php.ini configuration. You need to look at your CGI handler configuration to increase time allowed for CGI scripts to run.

E.g. if you are using mod_fastcgi you may want to specify the following option in your Apache config: FastCgiServer -idle-timeout 600 which will give you timeout of 10 minutes. By default fastcgi provides 30 seconds. You could find some other fastcgi options here http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html

You could try something like this :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dir_under_rootdocument/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(gif|jpg|png|js|css)$
RewriteRule (.*) dir_under_rootdocument/index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
