WampServer

I have installed Joomla 2.5 on wamp server.

There is no issues except that the Joomla "Manage" tab in the "Extension Manager" is not working. Getting the following error while trying to access;



( ! ) Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\Joomla 2.5.6\libraries\joomla\string\string.php on line 399

PHP has a max execution time setting to stop scripts that are in infinite loops from running for ever.

You can increase this time limit by editing you php.ini file. Use wamp -> PHP -> php.ini to edit it.

Look for a parameter called "max_execution_time"

This is set to 30 on youur system increase it to 60 to see if thats enough. If not add another 30 seconds if thats not enough there may be some other problem so start looking for why it needs to run for so long rather than just increasing it again and again

I tried that already and reinstalled a number of times also. There is no issue with Joomla 1.5xxx versions. The issue starts with the 2.5xx versions.

I even tried XAMP and gets some what same error.

Maybe you should be asking for help on a Joomla site

I just did a google search with this as the search parameter "Maximum execution time Joomla 2.5" and ther are lots of posts with this problem.

Try doing some research, I read a few and it seems that its might be something to do with locale processing

Good luck

This doesn't have anything to do with Joomla as it installs and works fine on all servers. I have a number of live sites running on Joomla 2.5.

This happens only with Wampserver.

Well actually you have already said it also happens with XAMP ???????????

Its simply not going to solve your problem if you just blame WAMP!

This is most likely to be a PHP configuration issue, afterall its telling you that it is not allowed to run the script ( JOOMLA or your Joomla addons ) in the time you have allowed it.

Wamp is primarily a tool that installs Apache/MySQL/PHP easily and quickly on a windows PC. It is configured to get you going for learning and development. Using it does not preclude you needing to know or learn something about each of these 3 environments.

The google search I suggested returns 58 THOUSAND results of other people who have had this sort of execution time exceeded message when using Joomla on everything from WAMP/XAMP to GoDaddy servers.

Possible solution here:
seems to be somebody using a hammer rather than a brain to crack a nut but give it a try.

If you increase the resources and maximums allowed it will probably finish eventually. But consider reducing these values back to there original values once you get over this import/upgrade issue.
Nobody wants to wait 83 minutes to be told you forgot to add 1 to a counter in a while loop.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try the link you have given me.
