Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

Question

I keep getting this PHP error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

I have tried setting my max_execution_time and my max_input_time settings in php.ini (both apache and cli) to 0, -1 and 4000 seconds each.

And i still get the error saying:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

As well my script runs over 300 seconds before i get this message

I am running the script through command line.

I also checked my phpinfo() so see which php.ini I am using.

Even more interesting I have tried setting max_execution_time and max_input_time settings to 5 second and my script will run way beyond 5 seconds before I get the:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

Answer 1

If you are using WAMP Go to :

Increase the max_execution_time in php.ini then go to

C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.4.10.1\libraries (change path according to your installation)

open config.default.php and change value for $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] to 0:

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;

This will resolve the issue for PhpMyAdmin imports.
