TOPIC: [SOLVED]Delete events & records when php memory is exhausted

I would beg to differ actually

I have latest DT version on latest Joomla version and am getting Max Execution Time Exhausted when loading event registration page.

doug - memory usage and number of queries IS much improved so that issue is resolved for everyone that we know of that was experiencing it. The max_execution_time error is related, but different. How long it takes to process loading your events page will vary depending on how many events (mainly how many repeats you have) and your server. A lot of repeats will take a little longer to load, and your server may need more time to do it. Have your host increase the max_execution_time for your account. It's probably set to 30, which is the lowest you'd ever want it to be... and while that is fine for almost all sites, some will need to give it a little bump.

I got in touch with my hosting company. They suggest this is a php.ini configuration issue.

This is a mid-high end VPS server and they do not provide scripting support on it.

Can anyone tell me exactly what needs to be done?
Copy the php.ini from my public_html root into my site directory?
Change the max execution time from 30 to 60?

I did those two things and DT Register still shows time-out at 30 seconds.

I must be missing something.

I apologize

I have fixed the issue by updating the htaccess (not php.ini) to make it recrussive.

BUT I have one more question

How can I keep the page load time down? Must I delete old events or can I archive them? I would prefer archive, but if this still taxes the system, I may have to delete.

Please advise

Archiving old events would certainly help... as they would not be loaded unless you set the filter to display them.
