[Piwik-hackers] Fatal error: Maximum execution time of XXX seconds exceeded

[Patrick Joyce]

Matthieu,

Thanks for the clarification on how Piwik works. That was my understanding.

I haven't modified the value of always_archive_data. It is set to false.

When checking to make sure I understood the meaning of the setting I
discovered this seemingly erroneous statement in
http://dev.piwik.org/trac/wiki/Plugins/HowToWritePlugin (second bullet
point of the testing section near the bottom)

"You can define to archive data at each access to the statistic board
- by default this is disabled for performance reason, but can be
enabled in the config/global.ini.php by setting always_archive_data =
false"

I believe the sentence should end "... by setting always_archive_data = true".

I agree I shouldn't be timing out with such a small data set. I'll
keep looking for whatever the real problem is.

Thanks again,

Patrick Joyce
