Maximum execution time in phpMyadmin

I have the same error, please go to

xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php

Look for : $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 600;

You can change '600' to any higher value, like '6000'.

Maximum execution time in seconds is (0 for no limit).

This will fix your error.

For Xampp version on Windows

Add this line to xampp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 6000;

And Change xampp\php\php.ini to

post_max_size = 750M 
upload_max_filesize = 750M   
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000
memory_limit = 1000M

And change xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini

max_allowed_packet = 200M

I faced the same problem while executing a curl. I got it right when I changed the following in the php.ini file:

max_execution_time = 1000 ;

and also

max_input_time = 1000 ;

Probably your problem should be solved by making above two changes and restarting the apache server.

Even after changing the above the problem persists and if you think it's because of some database operation using mysql you can try changing this also:

mysql.connect_timeout = 1000 ; // this is not neccessary

All this should be changed in php.ini file and apache server should be restarted to see the changes.

---

Your change should work. However, there are potentially few php.ini configuration files with the 'xampp' stack. Try to identify whether or not there's an 'apache' specific php.ini. One potential location is:

C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

---

Changing php.ini for a web application requires restarting Apache.

You should verify that the change took place by running a PHP script that executes the function phpinfo(). The output of that function will tell you a lot of PHP parameters, including the timeout value.

You might also have changed a copy of php.ini that is not the same file used by Apache.

---

ini_set('max_execution_time', 0); or create file name called php.ini and enter the first line max_execution_time=0 then save it and put the file in your root folder of your application.

That's it. Good luck.

What worked for me on WAMP was modifying file: \Wamp64\alias\phpmyadmin.conf, lines:

 php_admin_value max_execution_time 600
 php_admin_value max_input_time 600

I did not have to change the library file.

---

Well for Wamp User,

Go to: wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.3.9\libraries

Under line 536, locate $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;

and change the value from 0 to 6000. e.g

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;

To

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 6000;

Restart wamp server and phew.

It works like magic !

'ZERO' for unlimited time.

C:\Apache24\htdocs\phpmyadmin\libraries\Config.class.php

/**
 * maximum execution time in seconds (0 for no limit)
 *
 * @global integer $cfg['ExecTimeLimit']
 */
$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;

You could also import the large file right from MySQL as query or a PHP query.

500,000 rows just took me 18 seconds to import on local server, using this method.

(create table first) - then:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Path_To_Your_File.csv' 
INTO TABLE Your_Table_Name 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

In php.ini you must check mysql.connect_timeout either. That's responsible for socket closing and returning the Fatal. So, for example, change it to:

mysql.connect_timeout = 3600

That time will be always counted in seconds, so in my example you have 1 hour.

Probabily you are using XMAPP as service, to restart XMAPP properly, you have to open XMAPP control panel un-check both "Svc" mdodules against Apache and MySQL. Then click on exit, now restart XMAPP and you are done.

---

Go to xampp/php/php.ini

Find this line:

max_execution_time=30

And change its value to any number you want. Restart Apache.
