Hi,
with projeqtor we manage about 30 projects per year, detailed in more than 170 activities and assigned to 15 resources. Each activity is assigned to 4 or 5 resources. Some projects can remain open on more than 2 years.
Today, 4 of us where not able to fill any information concerning their imputations. Looking to the log, I found that there was a timeout problem.
Then going into the php.ini I found a small note written one year ago reccommending to increase also max_input_vars, suhosin.post.max_vars, suhosin.request.max_vars from 4000 to 10000.
So on this basis I have modified the following variables like that:
max_execution_time = 60
mysql_connect_timeout = 90
max_input_vars = 12000
suhosin.post.max_vars=12000
suhosin.request.max_vars= 12000
And it works fine again.
Anyway, I'd like to have some advices on the pertinence of such values (even if it works) and are we not playing with the limits of projeqtor? Do we have to try to diminuish the number of open projects? Do we have to split them in smaller one that will be closed quickier?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
First, which version of projeqtor are you running ?
On versions over V3.2, max_input_vars set to 4000 should be enough for most uses.
On more recent versions, you will have possibilities to limit displayed tasks.
For instance, since V4.4, you can hide not handled tasks and/or done ones.
But more important, it is advised to close tasks when they are done and validated, even if the project is not closed.
You should not keep tasks opened for several years.
If you have to, maybe it is because you did not split you project in correct time frames, as sub-project or phasing activities.
Thanks for advices, I'm running the last stable release 4.4.2.
What is a 'reasonable' amount of active tasks?
About 50 max per resource is reasonable.
Less is better.
More is not really "manageable".
