Description

php.ini sets max_input_time = 60, which can abort large multipart/form-data uploads while PHP is still reading POST data. We recently raised upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to 5G; max_input_time should be raised accordingly.

Proposed change

  • Set max_input_time = 3600 (or -1 for unlimited) in docker/config/php.ini.

Acceptance criteria

  • Uploading multi-GB datasets does not time out while parsing request data.
  • No regressions for normal requests.

Reference

  • docker/config/php.ini currently: max_input_time = 60.

Research direction

Open docker/config/php.ini and review the current max_input_time setting alongside the existing upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values. Update the input timeout as proposed, then verify that multi-GB multipart uploads do not time out while normal requests continue to work.
