Unable to locate file error due to max_execution_time php.ini parameter too low

[skilleyes]

Hi, I've encountered a problem, when trying to download large files (many videos).
The zip files were typically over 500Mb.

I would get a "Unable to locate file" error.

After searching for a bit, I found out that the php.ini "max_execution_time" parameter was the culprit. Default value was 30 seconds and zipping large files would take more than 30s. I had files such as piwigo_album_foobar.zip.4AHGvj which meant that the zipping process was very probably interrupted by the 30s limit.

Setting this value "max_execution_time = 120" to 120 seconds fixed it for me.

I'm suggesting to include this information in the plugin documentation maybe in a "Troubleshoot" section ?

Hope this helps out !
