[1.6.1.12] How to change my maximum execution time?

[queffect]

Hello, 

 

I'm running Prestashop 1.6.1.12 and when I try to change my theme, it takes a very long time 
and then it shows the internal error 500. (running on localhost)

 

I believe it's because of my max. execution time set to 30. I want to change this but I can't seem to find a 

php file anywhere. 

 

Can you help me out?

Thanks in advance!

localhost means what exactly ? Xampp on local install, so your local machine ? If yes, you should change the values on php.ini. File you find at: /apache/bin/php.ini

 

If you are running on a live server, than take a look into cPanel, if you can change the value. If not, an you have root access, than you should adapt the php.ini of your apache as well. If you don't have root access and cannot adapt the value on cPanel, than you should contact your provider. In this case the value can be adapted only by the server administrator (provider).

 

You should adapt max_input_time and max_execution_time both to 300 each.
