I host my sites using hostgator's shared hosting plan. The script execution max time is 30 seconds and the file upload size is 64MB. I dont think its possible to upload 64MB in 30 seconds unless you have a very fast internet connection. When I am uploading a file thru my php script - the file uploading duration will be counted as script execution time as well rite? or its excluded while file uploading?
That was very bad... I was just thinking to host one of my client's site in hostgator. Thanks... for that info
Are you talking about the php.ini QuickConfig feature or something different? In the QuickConfig I can change other things but not file upload size and script execution time.
Update: I had the opportunity to speak with hostgator support agent via the live chat. They said for shared hosting the max script execution time is 30 seconds and that limit cannot be changed via the QuickConfig feature available in Cpanel. The agent advised me to either use FTP or to buy a dedicated server to get rid of this problem. Posting here so that this helps someone who faces the same problem.
