fcgid error with file uploads or email forwards

[pgentoo]

Your httpd.conf (or included file) should have a setting like "Timeout 300" or similar. This is the number of seconds that apache will allow for a send or receive operation. if you are breaking this timeout, then that could be the issue.

What error are you seeing when you upload? If a php error gets displayed then it is not an apache issue, and more likely a php timeout/issue.

If you switch to mod_php5, then your php.ini that gets loaded will be from a different location. You'll need it edit hte correct php.ini with the new 'upload_max_filesize' settings. I believe the default is 2M though, so a 1M file shouldn't error regardless.

If your connection is slow, maybe it is simply timing out in PHP. Check the values of max_input_time and max_execution_time, and raise them if necessary.
