[php] flush() help

[r4myy]

Hi guys, I recently bought a vps from knowin and noticed that flush() isn't working

Now i know this is probably not the servers fault, but i can't get it to work at all

Tried
ob_flush(); flush(); sleep(1);

It goes through the loop but doesnt sleep, just waits till the whole page loads :/

I tried disabling gzip for that page but still doesn't work

Anyone know what's going on? I been googling for a couple hours and pretty much tried everything

I think if i re-install the os it might work but i dont wanna do that lol

Any help appreciated

Firefox
I tried that but it didn't work

I think its something with the installation.. i installed w/ virtualmin.. think if i reinstall with kloxo it'll fix it?

Read this up, virtualmin uses mod_fcgid, where this mod has it's own OutputBuffer,

http://www.virtualmin.com/node/14618

You will need to recompile your own mod_fcgid and replace virtualmin's mod_fcgid for it to work, not to forget, setting OutputBufferSize to 0.

Thank you Seeyabye

Working now..

One more thing though..

I have the set_time_limit to 0 but i have a shell_exec() that takes a long time to load so the page just times out :/
Is that function supposed to work with set_time_limit. (Limit is unlimited in php.ini too)
