Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

[gorma]

Hi,

Trying to upgrade VM 2.0.2 to VM 2.0.4 on Joomla 2.5.4 but get this error every time....

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart_allinone/classes/download.php on line 256

I have askewd the host to give me 90 seconds execution time but it still fails.

I have seen others have this issue but not found any solutions... can anyone help?

Many thanks,

Nigel

Use the provided download link and install the aio using the normal joomla extension installer page.

Hey Milbo,

Thanks for that! Worked a treat! I had the zip but couldn't find anywhere what to do with it... Once you said then it was obvious.

The only thing is that even though I have the 2.0.4 zip file it now says I have version 2.0.3, strrrrrrrange!!!

Oh well, Im sure its fine!

Thanks again.

It is fine. The entry in the aio component xml file was not updated to 2.0.4 before release.

I found I had this error message when trying to update to VM 2.0.6 using the live updater. I tried downloading it manually and installing it normally but it still timed out. I then used the Extplorer component that I installed to open the /tmp folder and I extracted the com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar.gz file. Then I went back to the Extension Manager and used the Install from Directory method: /home/yourdomain/public_html//tmp and that worked fine.

I've tried the directions for the phoca - using /com_virtuemart as a subfolder in tmp folder and even though I can see an installer folder in this download, I keep getting a message returned that the installer cannot see any "Unable to find install package"

Any other suggestions?  I also get the 30 second time out message as those above.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

I've got same problem!!!
I cant install 2.0.7 and syncronize the Media images...

I was able to obtain a successful install message (yeah!)   after my server company made me a personalized  php.ini file and upped the time allowed.


I did get one message I'm not sure what to do about if anything: 

Warning, the Safe Path is empty, for safety reasons it is very important to create a folder in a path not accessible by an URL, create also a folder invoices in it to store your sensible data secure. Our suggested path is for your system  is:    /home/domain/public_html/URL /folder

Just noting this from my install.  I'll see if there is more detail in other posts on what this means.

to solve that i just need to go to your Shop Configuration:
( /administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=config )

and in "Safe Path" write the way to store your invoice informations (i think is for that)
and you'll need to create that new folder in your webhost or localhost

( in my situation i'll not use invoices.. so this safe path is not necessary... i think)  :-/
