Hi

We are trialling nginx as a httpd for drupal + civicrm. Everything is  
working very well. However one thing we would like to do is to set a  
max\_execution\_time per server {} rather than just relying on a default  
setting in php.ini set higher than is actually desirable for all sites.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Bails

Put a php.ini file in the root directory of your site and set the  
runtime parameters there. Note that this file has to be readable by  
the CGI process.

You can also, in the case of Drupal (I have no experience with  
CivicCRM) set it in the settings.php file using  
ini\_set(‘max\_execution\_time’, );
