(During Installation) Fatal Error: Exectution Time...

During the Installation of Textpattern, I get as far as the page where it asked you for your name, login and password (for TxP, not SQL) and is about to create database tables. But when it’s around halfway through, I get a message:

Trying to connect to an RPC Server…
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/virtual/warshq.byethost11.com/htdocs/textpattern/lib/IXRClass.php on line 520

I presume IXRClass.php is there because that’s where it got up to in the 30 seconds.

Is there anything to increase execution time or get rid of the limit all together?

Depending on your server, you might not be able to increase it. You could try adding this to .htaccess:

php_value max_execution_time "300"

I’ve added and uploaded that but it doesn’t seem to make a difference I still recieve the same error. I’ve tried changing the number “300” to higher values but I still get the same message.

Chances are your hosting company is using safe mode, which means you can’t override that limit.

The reason it’s failing is that setup.php is trying to download language files from an XML-RPC server. That shouldn’t take anywhere near 30 seconds. Your server is probably misconfigured or deliberately set up so that outbound HTTP connections time out.

You need to talk to your hosting company – either find out how to increase the execution time, or fix the problem that is causing the download connection to time out.

Hm, a long time ago (6 months?), I did manage to get TxP installed and working without the execution time error but then I got rid of it.

Was the execution time limit introduced in a recent TxP release? I ask because I could ‘fetch’ a version before that error was introduced.

There is no time limit in TXP. This is the configuration of PHP. Textpattern can deal with success, it can also deal with failure (permission denied etc). In your case there is nothin left for Textpattern to handle, because the PHP interpreter decided to kill textpattern/the php-script.
