I have a CakePHP app which I have been developing on a remote server. Everything is working fine on the remote server.
I’m now trying to install it on a machine with a fresh install of XAMPP. Cake is timing out. Apache is working – other things, such as phpMyAdmin, work fine. I am running Apache through port 8000, as IIS is using port 80. The OS is Windows Server 2003.
When trying to access the app, it times out, with the following error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\libs\debugger.php on line 247
I have turned URL rewriting off, that hasn’t solved the problem.
I have been trying to track down the source of the problem by echoing things and then exiting the script in the cake core. I found that the script was timing out (with the same error) when the components were trying to load. I commented out my components array in app_controller, and the script ran a little further.
Now, I have tracked it down this far:
Dispatcher::dispatch();
Dispatcher::_invoke();
Controller::constructClasses();
Controller::loadModel();
ClassRegistry::init(); //called on line 635 of Controller in the "else" block of the if (PHP5) statement
In ClassRegistry::init(), the script times out on line 141, whic is as follows:
${$class} =& new $class($settings);
I have no idea where to go from here! Help much appreciated.
Well, after following the problem a bit further, I found that the problem was coming up in Model::construct. It turns out that the hostname in my database.php file was wrong! I would have expected a “could not connect to the database…” error.
