Thanks, This might be the fix. I too had tried ProxyTimeout without success. It is now behaving a lot better. Dave On Thu, 2006-01-19 at 09:25 +0100, Luca Olivetti wrote:

It works for a few people. If I try too many people it fails with an Error reading from remote server message from the Apache.
I cannot find any hints in the apache or zope logs. I have tried to monitor the server to see if any resources are running out, but have not found anything.
Can anyone suggest how I try to diagnose this failure.
Maybe (just maybe) it's a timeout: I saw this when performing a long plone migration (though the migration completed anyway). The default timeout is 5 minutes, so this is easy to rule out: if the error comes out after five minutes it's probably this error (or less if the apache configuration uses a lower value). There are many apache parameters to control the timeout, but IIRC the only one that worked here is the Timeout parameter (though I'm not sure it solved my issue, I *do* remember that ProxyTimeout, which seemed the correct parameter to me, did nothing to prevent the problem).
