Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Post by djreason » Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:54 pm

I am getting an error message on my page now due to too many products loading in my categories.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\domains\discountperformanceautoparts.com\wwwroot\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\ps_product_category.php on line 593

How do I fix this?


Also, my site is running extremely slow now and I am on a dedicated server.  How do I fix this as well?

Thanks

I've found that the php if running under windows needs to have the php.ini sit in the windows folder eg %systemroot%.
Once you've placed php.ini somewhere that the php.exe can find it (it won't find it in the C:\php folder) it's time out will be 60 seconds. 30 seconds means it's not reading the config file at all and using the default stored in the executable which is 30 seconds (60 is the default in the php.ini file if it's a number other then what's written in the php.ini file then it is not using that).
This definitely works.

Hi,

I've got the same problem. However it was due to a bug in Joomla 1.5.2 (I think). It was caused by enabling filtering of for Filtering Options (Content >> Article Manager >> Parameters >> Filtering Options). What I did to resolve it was to disable the filtering and it's working again. :)

You've possibly just spead up the processing by disabling filtering which means that it doesn't fall over at the php system time out of 30 seconds. However if you encounter something which takes more then 30 seconds to run it'll fall over on you still.

I also had this issue and this was solved by chaning the 'intro' parameter of the category blog layout.

I choose a category blog layout, set the intro to the max (99999) and got the error. Changing it to 100 solved the problem.

You're all working around the main issue which is that php is not setup properly on your web server.

Open your php.ini file

EDIT: max_execution_time = 30

Save and restart your server

Small amendment to post of T_Clauss. If your host provides you configuration by means of .htaccess it is possible to change parameter max_execution_time as follows:

1. Create or edit .htaccess file.
2. Put into the file:
php_value max_execution_time xx

where xx stands for the new value of a parameter.

Hi! Thanks for the answer! But how do I disable Filtering. The only options I have to choose is
Blacklist
Whitelist
html

What should I check.

Where should I disable it?

Please help!
Thanks in advance!

I'm getting this error during install of an extension (EventList, specifically). Running J! 1.5.9, and I've set my max_execution_time to 60 (which is correctly reported in the phpinfo() table), but I still get the error. What the dilly yo yo yo?

EDIT: fixed. my shared host only has add-on php.ini's affect the folder they're in (not subfolders), so even though index.php had the ini var set, administrator/index.php did NOT. you need 2 php.ini files, one in root and one in /administrator, to cover all the bases if you can't edit your master php.ini file. (i had also tried putting a php.ini in /libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/, which is the location of the script that was erroring, but that didn't work either -- the ini has to be in the folder of the parent php file. in Joomla's case, this is always index.php or administrator/index.php.)

I had the same problem with a frontend login and the file it referenced was emailcloak.php. I turned off cloaking and it's fixed.

In searching for a solution, it seems that lots of people have had this issue and that it's not necessarily tied to a specific plugin or setting, but to Joomla 1.5 conflicting with a PHP 5.0.3 upgrade.

This person references that issue:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=10127

I disagree that upping the timeout will/should fix the issue, let's focus on what's causing the site to take more than 30 seconds to process a request.

Usually in your host root directory or cgi-bin. You may even need to create the file and install in one of those directories. I would recommend checking with your host to determine the details.

No. One of the greatest drawbacks for any writer using Joomla or even JoomlaWorks K2 is that there is no versioning or auto-save function. Wordpress excels at this, making it a much better platform for frequent production. JoomlaWorks K2 has said versioning/auto-save is in the works.

I recommend writing on Google Docs (real-time) or a desktop word processor (old school word) such as Word, Open Office or an email client such as Thunderbird.
