PHP timing out during Moodle upgrade

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I am trying to upgrade to Moodle 2. When i perform the upgrade PHP is timing out and giving me an error 500.

 

I am using PHP 5.3.13 with fastCGI using the installer found at php.iis.net this on a Server 2008 R2 Enterprise server.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts please?

 

Thanks

Seems obvious ... increase the timeout?

 

Or run the PHP from the command line.

I had an odd issue with wordpress a few weeks back where my menu structure had close to 100 items and my php would only process 60 and it will time out. I had to enable some odd module on PHP and up the memory it can access.

 

I had to add this to my php.ini file

 

suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000

suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

 

The module to enable is suhosin. (never herd of it before...)

 

It could always be the PHP memory limit.

Not to someone who doesn't know a massive amount about it...

Thanks Ross will give it a try.

You need to increase the following variables in php.ini

 

max_execution_time = 360

max_input_time = 360

 

this will give the page 6 minutes to load.

 

 

the following variables govern information sent to a page not how long the page can take to load.

 

suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000

suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

Suhosin is a hardening module for php. Shared hosting doesn't normally run it as you usually have to be aware of it to prevent issues as it can be a pain to setup.

Tell me about it! Thankfully I have an internal Cpanel server so was easy to install.
