I have a site hosted on rackspace cloud sites. I have a troubleshooting script I am trying to run to figure out some problems with the site.
Cloud sites has a 30 second timeout and it is timing out before the results page can load. I spoke with their support and they advised me to put a page loading script at the top of the php file to keep the connection open but I have no idea how to do that and the googling I have done hasnt been much help.
The script I am trying to run is too long to include here but if anyone needs it you can find it here http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860
edit: so no matter what I set the execution time to in the script the load balancers rackspace uses will still timeout after 30 seconds. they have told me to run a 'page loading' script at the beginning of the script to keep the connection open so I am about to start looking into how to do that.
