AJAX queries failing for exactly 60 seconds per time

I have a long running ajax request (which I know is long running, and nothing I can do about it).

The ajax command is sent, and I have tried setting the timeout to 0 (infinite) and 90000000 (90 seconds), but dead on 60 seconds of execution the error function is fired and I get a message.

Strangely enough the script is still running on the server, which makes me think it is a browser issue. Im using Chrome 51.0.2704.103m, but need it to work with Chrome, so no cant test in another browser.

Has anyone come across this before, or found a fix?

Thank you in advance

Just done a test in IE and Chrome, both timeout in 60 seconds.

Out of interest I wrote a simple test:-

<?php
set_time_limit(0);

sleep(90);
echo "Sleep worked";
exit();

?>

Open in new window

Which also causes the same problem, so I know its not my code, just need to figure out a way to stop the page timing out.

What version of PHP are you running? If you are running 5.2 or earlier and have safe mode turned on, the set_time_limit function will not work.

Also, the default max_execution_time is 30 seconds, not 60. Unless your configuration has been changed to 60 seconds, this could be a separate issue. What type of error are you getting?
