Magento

I have just imported another 1200 items to my website (using the import all profile) so the total number of products I now have is now over 4000.

Once the import process was completed (which took 2 1/2 hours) I was unable to export all products! I got the following message: -

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /home/technic2/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Attribute/Backend/Abstract.php on line 155

I have had no issues before doing this, everything has been working fine.

Any help from you guys would be amazing!

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /home/technic2/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Attribute/Backend/Abstract.php on line 155

Hello,

The error you are receiving most likely has to do with your php configuration.  Larger catalogs require longer timeout settings for these large operations to fully complete.

If you do not have access to the servers php.ini file, ask that the host increase the ‘max_execution_time’ to a value of 1800 - this is 30 minutes and should be enough time for most large catalogs.

If the host is using the PHP Module Suhosin the timeout configuration settings there may be overriding the settings in your .htaccess or your server does not allow overriding of these values.

Hope this helps~

OK, thanks for this! I have asked web host to change as sugguested, will update this post when it’s done. Thanks again.

My hosting company wouldn’t increase it to that extent (1800) as it is a shared host package I am on. However they did say they have increase it a little. Even though they have increased it I still get a 60 second error! Is there anything else I can do?

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /home/technic2/public_html/lib/Zend/Db/Select.php on line 984

Any sugguestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Would it be possible for you to create a phpinfo file and post the URL here? 

This may help to diagnose the problem and to verify that the changes have been made.

And looking at the max_execution_time it is still 60! So I will email my host again.

Ok, thanks-

A couple observations -

1. max_execution_time == 60 (this value has not been changed according to your phpinfo file)

2. your system is running in fcgi mode - In this case, you are likely hitting some fcgi timeout settings. 

You can request that your host apply the following fCGI configuration changes to your account;

Unfortunately, given the results of number 1 above you may have mixed results on this request.

I hope this helps

Many thanks, my web host has increased the time to 120 seconds, which has resolved the issue for now.

I will be adding even more products to my site over the coming weeks, which means this issue will come back, so I will have to search out another web host in the UK.

Thanks again for you advice, really appreciated!

My pleasure to help -

Glad your host properly made the change so that you could confirm the problem and resolution.

As you add more products to the cart there are going to be other timeouts that you are going to want to look at, depending on your hosting environment.  If you can, it’ll be best to go with a host that has some working knowledge of Magento as these will likely already be setup correctly for you.

There’s a lot of hosts to choose from on this page; http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/general/magento-web-hosting but be sure to ASK QUESTIONS as it doesn’t take anything to get on that list other than editing the page and adding your business.

If you’re looking for a list of questions to ask prospective hosts, I’d start at the top of the system requirements and work down, ending with asking for a demo store to run through.

Best of luck with everything.

Hello,

I got the same error message.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .../public_html/.../magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Convert/Parser/Product.php on line 424

I’ve changed the max_execute_time to 360 but still got the error above.

Thank you much for help.

Thanks lot…

You ‘may’ be able change the max_execution_time of PHP by addition the following directive to your .htaccess file;

php_value max_execution_time = 180 (set to your necessary value <in seconds>

You can then verify this setting by creation a PHPInfo page - phpinfo(); and looking for the max_execution_time value.

If your value has not changed then you both should check with your host to see if they have an alternative way of raising the php value of max_execution_time to your required value.

Hope this helps.

Hey Thanks lot for your help…
Now I tested and the page dont show me “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded” this message any more..

but still I am having the same error.

I also have cros checked my phpinfo & it verifies the above values

Can u help me with this ??

thanks

You can also try this if you don’t want to mess with ini files.

Place this within the index.php file of your magento install…

ini_set(’max_execution_time’,’1800’);

Just in case, for memory limit, you can use…

ini_set(’memory_limit’,’1024M’);

Worked easy for me when I imported 30k+ rows.
