Answer 1

1. Find file:

   [XAMPP Installation Directory]\php\php.ini
   

2. open php.ini.
3. Find max_execution_time and increase the value of it as you required
4. Restart XAMPP control panel

Answer 2

If you are simply testing a local dev version of WordPress as I was an hitting timeouts when WordPress tries to update itself you can always disable updates for your local version like so: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-automatic-updates-in-wordpress/

Don't do this for a production site!

@Raphael your solution does work. I encountered the same problem en solved it by increasing the maximum execution time to 180. There is an easier way to do it though:

1. Open the Xampp control panel
2. Click on 'config' behind 'Apache'
3. Select 'PHP (php.ini)' from the dropdown -> A file should now open in your text editor

4. Press ctrl+f and search for 'max_execution_time', you should fine a line which only says

   max_execution_time=30

5. Change 30 to a bigger number (180 worked for me), like this:

   max_execution_time=180

6. Save the file

7. 'Stop' Apache server
8. Close Xampp
9. Restart Xampp
10. 'Start' Apache server
11. Update Wordpress from the Admin dashboard
12. Enjoy ;)

Answer 4

I solved this issue to update .htaccess file inside your workspace (like C:\xampp\htdocs\Nayan\.htaccess in my case).

Just update or add this php_value max_execution_time 300 line before # END WordPress. Then save the file and try to install again.

If the error occurs again, you can maximize the value from 300 to 600.

Answer 5

Please

1. locate the file [XAMPP Installation Directory]\php\php.ini (e.g. C:\xampp\php\php.ini)
2. open php.ini in Notepad or any Text editor
3. locate the line containing max_execution_time and
4. increase the value from 30 to some larger number (e.g. set: max_execution_time = 90)
5. then restart Apache web server from the XAMPP control panel

If there will still be the same error after that, try to increase the value for the max_execution_time further more.
