Title: Script timeout
Post by: Oasis on October 14, 2003, 09:07:18 AM

Some users on 512/64 ADSL are complaining of script timeouts when uploading photos...

QuoteFatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\wwwroot\coppermine\db_input.php on line 17

If I increase the max execution time, will it pose any security risks or server stability problems?

The main thing the maximum execution time does is prevent a bad script from monopolizing server resources (an infinite loop, for example). The effect of raising the time limit is different for different situations. In a bad case, you might get a slower server that can't handle some traffic, but the only way to find out is to test it.
