Two questions regarding "Increase Maximum Execution Time"

i want to ask…
about step 2… where do i need to add the text “php_value max_execution_time 180” in the .htaccess file?

also… where do i find the php.ini file?

i only succeeded with the first step for now…

tnx

Php settings are often found at your hosting provider on server settings.
Log in to the hosting provider, search for advance configuration and php settings.

It must always go before the end
But it is not a rewrite rule, and other examples seem to target their specific php version

But since it ain’t in there, but it is there, it must be defined elsewhere.

See if you can find a php.ini at the root of your hosting directory.

There are plugin’s to do it like this one though not updated for 4 years but might be working just fine.

If you want to use the htaccess i think it goes below the rewrite above the end but im not sure as i would always go find it inside the php settings. Also the above examples seem to have tags to target their php version.

Also, a script running for 300 seconds is really long and should not happen.

Google Pagespeed Insights also appears to be able to change the max execution time

Not sure if this is Hostinger specific:
php_value max_execution_time 60
