[TYPO3] HINT: TER2 and php_value max_execution_time for shared hosts

[Jacob Floyd]

I (and others) found that the default value for max_execution_time in
php.ini of "30" is too small for the Extension Manager in TER2 to
function properly. The recommended amount is 120, but those who are on
a shared host can't change anything in php.ini.

However, they can override the value in an .htaccess file for apache. [1]

Simply upload/create a file ".htaccess" in the typo3/mod/tools/em
folder with the following:

###START FILE###
php_value max_execution_time 120
###END FILE###

Note however, that I think your host has to be running php as an
apache module and if they've set an php_admin_value this won't work.

Enjoy,
JF
