Magento

Hello Magento gurus,

I am very much new to this world and may be a simple problem i am facing.
I am trying to install the magento in my own pc. but when i go for installation , the step3 of installation stage i get stuck.  after giving the database info and password when i click next it says as below:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\magento\lib\Varien\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql.php on line 288

when i look at the line 288 in that mysql.php file . i found there is a problem with function raw_query().
i have uploaded the magento sample data 1.2.0 version.

Plz tell me how to resolve this problem .

Change the max_execution_time in php.ini to a greater value.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 180 seconds exceeded in D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\magento\lib\Varien\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql.php on line 288

Currently it is set to 180 on your php.ini.

For reference::
http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-execution-time
http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

If you are using WAMP, make sure to change

max_execution_time
and
max_input_time

to a greater value (e.g. 1800) in your php.ini file.

Don\\\’t forget to restart apache after the changes!

If you are using wamp in windows, then you should enable mod_rewrite and check mark the mod_rewrite option in instillation wizard.

I would like to tell you add this line at the top of Mysql.php

I found these steps work:

1. create a .htaccess file with the line ‘php_value max_execution_time 300’
2. in Apache config change these lines for the virtual host:
- from
Options None
AllowOverride None
- to
Options All
AllowOverride All
3. Restart Apache.
