WampServer

Hi, I tried installing joomla extensions and different joomla templates as you would on the hosting website but it always gives me an error. (There was an error uploading this file to the server.) Is there a different way you should install extensions and templates?

Thank you.

No but Joomla installs like this seem to take an VERY long time, and cause PHP to timeout.


Try changing this parameter in your PHP.INI file

max_execution_time = 30 is the default i believe

try changing this to 0 (zero i.e. no maximum) while you are doing these Joomla installs

Remember to turn it back to whatever it was to start with, otherwise a silly coding error can cause php to run for ever rather than timeout with an error.

Use the wampmanager -> php -> php.ini links so you open the correct php.ini file.
