Hi,
Im facing this issue in a Plesk environment when trying to perform a fresh install of Moodle 2.0 RC1.
After the initial screens selecting databace connection and environment check, there goes the database preparation and the browser waits. Then after 2 minutes aprox, instead of seeing the usual db tasks as they're completed, I get Internal Server Error 500.
The access.log displays the HTTP 500 error:
109.242.90.70 - - [04/Oct/2010:19:13:12 +0300] "GET /moodle/admin/index.php?agreelicense=1&confirmrelease=1&lang=en HTTP/1.1" 500 1099 "http://diadrastikon.hilabs.com/moodle/admin/index.php?lang=en&agreelicense=1" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10"
and the error log displays:
[Mon Oct 04 19:14:43 2010] [warn] (110)Connection timed out: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function
After that, the database has from 50-65 tables created, not the same number every time (and yes, I've tried many).
My hosting provider says this error usualy comes from the client, but I doubt that it happens in my case.
Should I try to experiment with set_time_limit ( secs ) in moodle/admin/index.php where the timeout occurs?
Is it something else you guys might know?
THanks
