Setting the PHP Max Execution Time on cPanel


Read 'how to guide' and set PHP max execution time on cPanel. A quick step by step guidelines for new learners.

If you are running into problems uploading files on your cPanel server, you can easily adjust the PHP settings to allow a longer execution time.

To do that go to WHM -> Service Configuration -> PHP Configuration Editor

You will see the option

max_execution_time

max_input_time

Set the value to the number of seconds you wish on both of those (an explanation of both is provided)

Click 'Save' at the bottom

You will also need to restart Apache after changing the configuration.

Go to WHM -> Restart Services -> HTTP Server (Apache)

Click 'Yes' to restart.
