Rails - Sep 2005 - Timeout::Error?? Can I Change Timeout?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to deal with a long running task in my Rails app.

The task is running and updating the DB but it appears that Rails thinks it
is dead.

So, I get this error:

Timeout::Error in Photo#update_from_flickr

execution expired

Anyway, can I set the timeout to be something longer? How would I do this?

I browsed through ActionController and didn''t see anything useful.

Thanks,
Hunter
