Maximum execution time of 30 seconds

Submitted by formmailer on Thu, 2010-06-17 14:37 in Magic Parser

Hi David,

When I run a XML to database import using MagicParser I receive the error:
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/vhosts/..../httpdocs/feed/MagicParser.php on line 2

I added set_time_limit(0); to the top of my script, it didn't work.

I disabled PHP safe mode and restarted Apache (it's a VPS): no success.

And the strangest part is that I can run larger imports that take over 300 seconds, using a copy the same script.

Do you have any suggestions on fixing this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jasper, It's possible

Hi Jasper,

It's possible that your PHP configuration (php.ini) is setting the time limit without set_time_limit() being allowed to override it - as depending upon how the scripts that you are running are coded; they may be shelling out of PHP and not counting towards the overall time.

Try making sure that

max_execution_time = 0

...in your php.ini - if you're not sure where the file is, when you've logged in to a shell, enter

$locate php.ini

(where $ is your command prompt)

Don't forget to restart Apache afterwards - probably using:

$/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Hope this helps!
All the best,
David.

Thanks David. You pointed me

Thanks David. You pointed me in the right direction.
I had to change it in the vhost.conf file for the domain (vhost).
But now it's solved.

Thanks!
