Fatal error: Maximum execution time

[netana]

Hello,

I have a problem with a new cacti installation. Sometimes I get the following error message when I am executing the "verbose query" or "Create graphs for this host".

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\cacti\lib\functions.php on line 1163

I changed the the max_execution_time and max_input_time in php.ini to 300 instead of 30. I also restarted the Webserver and then also the workstation. But the error message is the same.

I am using IIS6, cacti 0.8.6f, mysql 4.0.18, php 4.3.9, netsnmp 5.2.1, rrdtool 1.0.48.

Thanks for your help

The error message indicates that the setting you entered in php.ini has not been read by php. Either php expects to have php.ini in different place or you did some mistake in variable definition. Try to create small php script with the following content:

Code: Select all

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Open it in your browser... you should see a lot of php settings and current configuration. Check variables values and php.ini path.

php expects the php.ini in c:\WINNT and the php.ini was in the directory c:\php. So I changed it and now it works.

Many thanks for your help.

You need to define the PHPRC environment variable to point to C:\PHP and then the PHP.INI file can exist in that directory. That is the recommendation of the PHP Group.

I had the entry PHPRC to c:\php, but nevertheless the problem existed.
