FatalError when Checking for Updates

Post by Rodgerbj » Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:54 pm

I've just installed a local version of Joomla 4.4 as a test site on Windows 10 computer. When I go to System Updates to check for Joomla or Extension updates, I get :
Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\Error\FatalError:
Error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded
at E:\webroot\Sites\Joom4b\libraries\src\Http\Transport\SocketTransport.php:127

Sounds similar to some of the installation errors posted here, but unique enough that I don't think I saw anything helpful. Below is the FPA results. Thanks for any help resolving. In the mean time, it seems like the rest of the functionality works, I just can't use the automatic updates feature for Joomla or my own extension.

First time using the fpa. Hope I did this right...

Curious, why have you "just installed" 4.4.0, when the current version is 4.4.3 (downloads.joomla.org)?

You have a few missing php extensions (if you're on Xampp or WAMPServer, you need to enable them).

Potential Missing Modules :: mod_expires | mod_deflate |
Potential Missing Extensions :: curl |

These are incorrectly set: Max. Upload Size: 64M | Max. POST Size: 16M

The Max POST size needs to be equal to or larger than the Max Upload size. Make them both 64M.

Either change these through the interface used for your localhost web server or through the php.ini file.

Thanks A Murray. That was helpful.

I've been having difficulty since I first started to upgrade from PHP 8.0. At that time I downloaded J! 4.4.0 and since I already had it in my downloads folder, I thought it would be a good test to see if Joomla would tell me to update Core to most recent version. Instead, I've been working through a lot of php stuff. Doing what I could find online. When I thought I had exhausted everything, I decided to post to the forum for help.

I didn't realize how useful the fpa tool could be until I ran it for the first time. There were about 6 extensions not enabled. So I enabled them all and the tool cleared all of them except the curl extension.

I missed the modules for Apache, but thanks to your observation, I discovered how to LoadModule the missing modules. That appears to be in good shape.

I also added the log folder, although I specified administrator logs folder in the global configuration section.

So now, I'm still stuck with why the curl extension is not working. The dll file is in my ext folder, and the php.ini has the curl extension enabled. Any guess why that may be?

Maybe it just requires the computer to be restarted? (or can you 'stop' and 'restart' the relevant Windows services concerned with Apache, PHP, MySQL)? Might be simpler to reboot.

Sorry, I am not a web server expert. I was just observing the missing items as reported by the FPA. Others will come along and offer their advice, I'm sure.

This is a known issue that should be fixed in the next release.

Resolved this issue. It may have been an issue with the php_curl.dll file itself. I wanted to verify the php_curl.dll file was the compatible or same version as my PHP. Couldn't figure out a way to do so. So I:
Downloaded PHP-8.2.17 again and unzipped it to a new folder
Moved all the files from the new folder "C:\newfolder\ext" to my previously installed PHP folder {C:\php\ext)
Restarted my Apache server, and checked phpinfo to see cURL was enabled.
