Hi Jan

thanks - i got the web host to increase the timeout value on the script. They limit the amount of processing power to max of 25% of CPU to prevent anyone website hogging resources.

however i am experiencing another side affect.

on this host it take up to 45 seconds to generate the PDF
on my other host (which is my test/dev area) - it takes 2 to 5 seconds.

could this be PHP version related ... host is running 5.3 dev is run 5.2.x

peter

running on PHP Version 5.3.6

ok

i uninstalled VM Invoice

reinstalled latest version 1.5.5

problem still exists

Joomla 1.5.23
VirtueMart 1.1.19
VM Invoice 1.5.4


problem does not occur on my test domain and this is a Akeeba backup clone of the test site. Identical except of URL and webhosting provider

Hi

just recently purchase VM Invoice and installed initially on test site.

i've just move the test site to it final destination URL www.alsodirectory.com.au

I've also paid for getting the domain name changed from alsodirectory.org (as client changed mind)

Now in the Backend Component VM Invoice - when i go to the Invoice Tab and click on the PDF icon to view a PDF of an existing order - i get the following fatal error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/ad/public_html/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 9181


help
