TYPO3 Core

I also received a similar timeout when accessing the Extension Manager for the very first time. Notes from my investigation are below but it would seem that PHP takes longer to retreive the data because the response is gzip encoded?

I just installed beta3 having previously been using beta2 OK.

I completed a fresh install but the Ext. Manager is "hit-and-miss" in regards to responsiveness.

In my PHP error log I see:

[22-Feb-2006 10:43:28] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\documents and settings\Steve\workspace\typo3 4.0 beta 3\html\t3lib\class.t3lib_div.php on line 2120

which relates to:

return file_get_contents($url);

I'm not behind a proxy and therefore have no need for curl. I did a bit of dirty debugging and it seems to be a problem retreiving:

http://repositories.typo3.org/mirrors.xml.gz

I can retreive this in my browser manually so I know the content is there. Furthermore, I created a simple test PHP file:

echo file_get_contents("http://repositories.typo3.org/mirrors.xml.gz");
?>

This produces the same problem? If I use http://www.google.com/ as the URL it works as you would expect.

Environment: Win XP, PHP 5.1.1 & Apache 1.3

webbo, your problem is a different one. When simply looking up extensions no connection to the TER2 is made. So the problem this bug report is about has to do with parsing the XML (mostly) and your problem is simply strange.

Because AFAIK the time PHP is waiting for input (from the network in this case) is not taken into consideration when it comes to checking the max execution time. And if your PHP isn't able to decompress the gz file within 30 seconds, you should seriously consider buying new hardware... :)

Ah, I just checked this with a max execution time of 10 seconds and it works just fine. In fact it takes less than 2 seconds until I actually see the result.

(Environment: Debian GNU/Linux, Apache 1.3, PHP 5, Pentium M 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM)

OK, I guess my error is not related to XML parsing, more down to decompressing the file.

Maybe it's a local configuration issue, it's just my home PC so far I was testing on but still pretty powerful (AMD 3200+, 1GB, XP SP2).

Hi Kari, is this still an issue with the latest RC? Thanks.

I'm sorry I have not time to test with RC3 but in RC2 if I want to list whole repository it gives me the message 'Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /home/4.0RC2/typo3_src-4.0rc2/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php on line 898'

If I find some time I can install RC3, but as the original roadmap of 4.0 and my own workmap have started to live separate ways 3 months ago it's difficult to find time any more as I have to study other applications.

So the RC3 vanished and there was born final 4.0 version. I have to regret that the situation still exists. After updated the extension list (unsupported = on); The extensions list has been updated and now contains 1546 extension entries. I want to list all extensions, so selection field is empty and Look Up button pressed.
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /home/4.0/typo3_src-4.0/typo3/mod/tools/em/class.em_index.php on line 4848

Then I tested using keyword 'nomad' it took 59.487 secs to first byte on screen 1 min 2.122 secs to complete, 53.62 kb and 24 requests to get Urban Nomad template to screen so that I can download it. Then it gets over 1 min. to doownload that about 53 kb. Then I wanted to install, I get warning messages / Dependency Error:
The running TYPO3 version (4.0) is higher than allowed (0.0.3)
The running PHP version (4.3.2) is higher than allowed (0.0.3)

Ok, they are ignored. And Urban Nomad extension installed.

Testing environment is:
Environment RHEL 3 clone (Tao) PHP 4.3.2
SERVER_SOFTW: Apache/2.0.46 (Tao Linux) MySQL 3.23.58
Typo3 4.0, clean and fresh installation (allthough much slower than 3.8.1)
2Mb ADSL connection. My server doesn't have any other processes that for serving this Apache/PHP/MySQL. I'm testing in home office network, lines 100 Mb and workstation is Intel Dual Core 2 Gb RHEL4 machine no other processes than browser.
Other older Typo3 installations working fluently and much quicker.

I have this error as well on a Windows Box. The gzip implementation under Windows seems not to be the greatest. (PHP 4.3.8)

This "bug" manifested itself further in saying that the extensions were not changed (or up to date - don't remember the exact wording - since the extensions.xml.gz was already downloaded) - but at the same time having an empty extension list, since PHP timed-out during the gzip.

Might want to consider changing the code to check for a successful install of the extensions list and not just if the extensions.xml.gz hasn't changed!

Since I could never reproduce this, and the way the extensions.xml.gz file is processed changed completely for 4.1, I resolve this one.

There probably won't be any far-fetched fixes for 4.0.x, anyway. If this is really caused by the gzip-handling being so slow, I'd consider this a bug in PHP...
