For anyone whose website resides on a LiteSpeed server

To avoid LiteSpeed server timeouts when executing any form of PHP script, you need to make sure that your timeout limits are correctly configured within your .htaccess file. Add the following to THE VERY BOTTOM of the .htaccess file

<IfModule Litespeed>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=noconntimeout:1]
RewriteRule .* - [E=noabort:1]
</IfModule>

Once in place, your time outs will now follow the PHP time out limits set in the 'Select PHP Version' selector within cPanel
