This problem happens while you are browsing a very large Directory Server tree or an entry with a lot of attributes. PHP is time out before apache finishes the session.

Here's a simple way to solve this problem. Change the variable 'max_execution_time' in PHP configuration file (e.g, /etc/php3/apache/php3.ini or /etc/php.ini) from default 30 (seconds) to 300. Then restart apache server.

Another solution hinted by Sergio Ballestrero is using set_time_limit function. If the value is set to 0, no time limit is imposed while script is executed.
