When I try to install or update a plugin from the Control Panel, I see a message "Updating Composer Dependencies" and then the following error occurs. I'm running Craft on a local environment. Installing and updating from the command line works fine. 

Status: Internal Server Error

Response:
PHP Fatal Error 'yii\base\ErrorException' with message 'Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded'
in ...\vendor\composer\composer\src\Composer\Util\RemoteFilesystem.php:555

Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: yii\base\ErrorHandler->handleFatalError()
#1 {main}

You need to figure out where your PHP config file is located (php.ini) and increase the value for the max_execution_time setting.

The best way to locate your php.ini:

  • If you can run php from the command line, run php --ini. Alternatively you could use php -i | grep 'Configuration File' to search the full phpinfo(). More info...

  • If php isn't accessible via the CLI, you can also create a simple php file that contains the following snippet. Load it up in your browser and search the page for "Configuration File". This will give you the location of your php.ini.

<?php

phpinfo();

Other options:

  • If you're using a Laravel Valet / Homebrew setup, the php.ini file is located at /usr/local/etc/php/X.X/php.ini where X.X is your PHP version number.

  • If you're running MAMP Pro, I believe they provide a built in editor to customize this - see How do you change php.ini values in MAMP Pro?

  • I updated the timeout and ran the updater for Craft CMS and now the previous installation seems to be blown out. Warning: require(vendor/craftcms/cms/bootstrap/web.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Users\rickn\Documents\Craft\Projects\Untye\web\index.php on line 20 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'vendor/craftcms/cms/bootstrap/web.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in

  • try removing your vendor folder entirely and run composer install from the command line...

  • Thanks. Then I get - The requested package craftcms/cms (locked at 3.0.34, required as 3.0.35) is satisfiable by craftcms/cms[3.0.34] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.
