Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds

The guestbook is installed in a Windows 2000 Server, it was working fine, now it just stopped working for no reason....

this is the error we get

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .....\guestbook\lib\mysql.class.php on line 41

www.pescozada.com/guestbook

anyone ever encountered this problem?

is your mysql server running?

yes is running.[/b]

you can increase the maximum execution time with the set_time_limit() function. add a simple set_time_limit(100) to the config.inc.php file

but i'm sure it's something wrong with your php/mysql installation
probably mysql 5 server with php using mysql 4 client libraries

WOW.... I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS PHP THROUGH A WINDOWS SERVER....

Look for the php.ini file. It will possibly be in either the windows or winnt directories. Or possibly it will be in the PHP directory depending on your set up.

phpuser3 is just refering to a piece of code you can place within a PHP script.

Anyway is the MySQL server on the same machine as the web server?

YEAH ITS ON THE SAME SERVER.

Did you encounter any problems installing the guestbook?

none at all, it was working fine, all of a sudden it stopped working.[/b]

How long has it been working fine?
Can you still access the database using something like phpMyAdmin?
Did you make any changes to the server recently?

all i have access to is the folders, not phpMyAdmin app.. and, no changes to the server... it's weird

OK both addentry and admin login pages are fine which makes me think it is to do with the entries. Login to the admin http://www.pescozada.com/guestbook/admin.php and check how many entries you have it set to show per page. If it is a low number then go into Easy Admin and check for stupid entries that may be causing a problem.

Unfortunatly it doesn't work, but I am able to see the messages through the administration panel, so it's not a php or mysql problem right?

If you can view the entries in easy admin without a problem then maybe something has happened to either the index.php or gb.class.php files. Redownload the guestbook and replace these two files.
