Re: Timeouts on WebDAV svn server (Win32)

Danil -

Try increasing the KeepAlive settings in Apache conf file (httpd.conf
or i fyou have a defaults conf):

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 50000

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection).
#
KeepAlive On

# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 250000

This would ensure Http connections do not timeout in the middle of a
WebDAv request.
