Increase time for file to run

Hello,

I have a .php-file that I run four times a day with a cron job. The .php-file goes thru multiple pages searching for a certain text. And it needs a lot of time to get it's job done.

When I run the script I get a "500 Internal Server Error".

Where can I increase the maximum time for the script to get run? I think it hits the roof for taking to long time and then I get the "500 Internal Server Error".

Howdy,

You may want to take a peek at $HOME/etc/php.ini, and make sure the "max_execution_time" is set high enough for your script to run.

Fredrik-s,

It should also technically be possible to this on a script by script basis:

ini_set('max_execution_time',60); # set execution to 60 seconds

I still get 500 Internal Server Error.

I have changed the following in $HOME/etc/php.ini:

max_execution_time = 900 ; Original 60 Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds max_input_time = 900 ; Original 60 Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data ;max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level memory_limit = 700M ; Original 128M Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)

Any other clue?

I found the trick.

It was the following line in the path way: Webmin > Servers > Apache Webserver > "Pick your Virtual Server, and click Virtual Server infront" > "Click Change Directives" > "Find the following line and increase":

IPCCommTimeout

Is original set to 31 (which means 31 seconds) increase this.

Thank you for the trick. Saved my life !

This IPCCommTimeout parameter can be accessed and modified from Virtualmin :

virtualim > my_server > Server Configuration > Website Options > Maximum PHP script run time
