Change the max_execution_time for PHP in Ubuntu

To change the max_execution_time for PHP in Ubuntu, you can follow the steps given below:

1. First, locate your php.ini file by running the following command in the terminal:

   Copy code
   sudo find / -name "php.ini"
   

   This will search for the php.ini file in your system.

2. Once you have located the php.ini file, open it in a text editor such as nano by running the following command:

   Copy code
   sudo nano /path/to/php.ini
   

   Replace /path/to/php.ini with the actual path to your php.ini file.

4. Change the value of max_execution_time to the desired value, in seconds. For example, if you want to increase the time limit to 120 seconds, set it to:

   Copy code
   max_execution_time = 120
   

5. Save the changes you made to the php.ini file (in nano you can do that by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, then ENTER).

6. Finally, restart the Apache server by running the following command:

   Copy code
   sudo service apache2 restart
   

   This will apply the changes you made and restart the Apache server for the changes to take effect.

That’s it! You have successfully changed the max_execution_time for PHP in Ubuntu.
