If your database gets too large it times out. Could that be the case?

hi...no its not to big.
its just over 4 mb
i cleaned up after the 7.6 install ...thats why is not that big yet.
ideas?

What version? Try using the one from 7.6Patched.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:07 pm

well i have all patched here,with 2.8
so that all not good enough ?

Should be. I don't know what else might be causing it. Have you looked in your error_log?

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:29 pm

well i just logged in to check but nothing...
its related to nuke somehow.
i downloaded the backup by hand in phpmyadmin and that works fine..

and i tried the backup.php of the 6.5 and its exactly the same.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:42 pm

When's the last time it worked? What have you changed since then? That's where I would start.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:46 pm

The last time it worked was with the 6.5.
but i got more news on this....

i just tried it on my testsite and its exactly the same.
and thats as clean as it comes....

so its not related to what i have installed or so...

My next stop would be to contact my ISP to see if they have made any recent changes to php.ini.

How does that relate to the function ?
A short tut on this ?

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:04 pm

2 parameters come to mind immediately. They may have changed these for some reason. Check http://php.net for more information as to their use.

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60

ican i check it myself by running that analyze.php file ?
will that produce the setting ?

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:13 pm

Just run

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:18 pm

Well the execution time is set to 30
and the max_input_time is set to -1

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:47 pm

is that the correct settings raven ?

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 7:23 pm

There is no 'correct' setting. It's whatever your host wants to use. It is, however, the default setting.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 7:37 pm

well raven i just dont know anything about this.
So is the setting thats causing this ?

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 7:55 pm

Don't know. You can try to override it in .htaccess like

PHP_VALUE max_input_time 60

thanks for the help ....but that idea didnt help.
il contact my host and see what he has to say about this.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 8:17 pm

Do you use Norton firewall? I remember reading one time that that resolved this issue. Just a thought.

Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 9:29 pm

It's so d*** easy, but yet so complicated.

Someone has to fix the d*** file.
I did it months ago but never finnished since i didn't feel like to.

Search around and maybe you can still find it

Here ya go, i did a search for ya

well its getting clear now...
it seems that because of a few idiot clients of my hos some functions are disabled from being used.

in his respons he said its about the worm that attacks the phpbb and that he disabled functions like...

system
exec
shell_exec
passthru
chown

also i noticed that because of this i cannot edit my files online in realtime like i always do.
i just get the 550 error ,no permission to overwrite...

There's an easy way to check which functions are disabled.

Code:

<?php


echo ini_get('disable_functions');

Save the file as a php and run it from your server
