 * Windows 98, IE6…Nightly build or regular install.
    Step 3: Times out after 30
   seconds and a couple of errors pop up. Saw another thread talking about Zone 
   Alarm possilby being a problem, but even stopping the ZA service does not good.
   Any ideas or has anyone fixed this? Thanks-

 * If you’re running apache, open your httpd.conf and find a parameter that sets
   30 second time-out and change it to 60. I’m not at a machine with apache on it
   right now, and can’t tell you the section or exact wording, but if you just look
   for a time-out value of 30 seconds you’ll probably find the right one. I don’t
   remember if there’s more than one but I only changed one. As I recall, it was
   pretty obvious when I found it, way back when…
    Firewalls sometimes cause it,
   too, but I haven’t had to turn off the firewall since I changed the time-out 
   in httpd.conf.

 * I’ve been having timeouts due to the geourl stuff (I think) taking a long time.
   Turned that off and things were much better.

 * Where do I find this httpf.conf thing or how exactly to turn off the geourl. 
   Please be clear 😀
