FAQ: MAX EXECUTION TIME error removing a FANTASTICO script

[Aric]

If your users are receiving an error when they try to remove scripts that states "Maximum execution time of XX seconds exceeded by XX file" you will need to increase the PHP value for max_execution_time.

To do this, follow these steps:

1) Log into your server via SSH as root (or su to root).
2) Open this file with your preferred editor (pico, nano, vi, etc.):
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini
3) Search for the line containing "max_execution_time" and change the value to something larger, 600 for example. This is the number of seconds that PHP scripts will be permitted to actively run before being terminated by the system.
4) Save changes.

Note that this change only affects cPanel, WHM and any third-party addons like Fantastico. This DOES NOT change the maximum execution time for PHP scripts that your clients may use.
