One reason is software like Apache, MysQL and PHP come with configuration files that hold "sane" defaults for general purpose usage. A lot of people think that increasing all sorts of values intuitively "fixes" problems. That may be so on the surface but it may come back and bite you later on as well: all software mentioned come with extensive documentation (for example see the Timeout and Keep Alive Directives in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html) you can and should consult and understand, especially those that affect system resources. The other reason is I noticed you were struggling with Apache configuration in a recent thread and I should point out that you should review what you run as a whole. For example you may be running Apache with modules you don't need or should not want activated (proxy modules for example).

Understood, apache has incredible versatility that at times its almost overwhelming lol.
This particular server has a simple apache install under /var/www/html/. The program being run is an elearning solution called dokeos (
http://www.dokeos.com/en) requires php to run.
I've created an Admin user that I added to the group apache so that the Admin user has access to to the dokeos folders under /var/www/html/dokeos.
The way that the Trainer wants to use dokeos on the Learner end requires a longer than usual timeout. ie: Learner logs into dokeos webpage, starts course they have been assigned, Learner is also referencing material outside of dokeos webpage...when ready the Learner returns to input/answer/click next page....they have timed out and must reenter login info etc etc...
So I need to extend this timeout
