How to configure mod_reqtimeout in Apache2
To check if the module is loaded, you can use the command
apachectl -M
or apache2ctl -M
, depending on your OS. If it's not loaded, you can load it on Debian/Ubuntu systems using
a2enmod reqtimeout
, on CentOS/RHEL systems you will have to edit your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
. Find the lines starting with LoadModule
and add one like this:
LoadModule reqtimeout_module modules/mod_reqtimeout.so
Make sure to restart apache afterwards. To configure it, you just add a line starting with
RequestReadTimeout
and the values you want to either your httpd.conf (global) or some VirtualHost configuration (just for the vhost).

I need to configure mod_reqtimeout in my Apache server v2.2.22 (in a linux machine). Problem is, I have absolutely no clue on how to do it.
I checked the Apache site on this module at this link but there was no clear download/configuration details given. Can someone help me on this ? Any help is much appreciated.
Basically:
- Is there something needed to download ?
- If not, which files do I need to edit and how?
I can see a mod_reqtimeout.so file in my modules directory of apache.

thanosk almost 11 yearsWell read the documentation for Apache and mod_reqtimeout. If you couldn't find it it is here: httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_reqtimeout.html . If after reading that you have specific questions please re-edit the above question.
