Hi, I am having trouble with one of my albums. Everytime I try to open it I get the following message: (Album) NCX 1 001

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home3/REMOVED/public_html/photos/zp-core/exif/exif.php on line 164

I have looked at other forum postings, which suggest one of the files may be corrupt. I created a new theme, which removes the EXIF data. I am running the following version:

Zenphoto version 1.2.5_RC2 [4019] (Official Build)
Current gallery theme: my_theme_no_exif
PHP version: 5.2.17
Graphics support: PHP GD library bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
PHP memory limit: 96M (Note: Your server might allocate less!)
MySQL version: 5.1.58

Should I upgrade my version? Will this help? Or is there a way to identify which files are corrupt and remove those?

I appreciate your help-

Hi,

problems with the max execution time mostly appear if php is calculating or waiting for something.

As there have been a lot of SQL errors solved that caused high load you should update to the latest version.

1.2.5 is pretty old so I don't think you'll get any help here.

You should also go to the admin page and start caching all the pictures, because else they will be generated on the fly when you access an album (preview and thumbnail).

Well, it might be a corrupt image with corrupt exif data. But anyway you should update to the latest version as we indeed can't support such old versions:

Well, for exact that reason it is not necessary to precache and also useless if you use a theme that sets specific image sizes for layout reasons. Then these cached images would not even be used... All info on that on our user guide...

Thanks- I will update my version. In the meantime, I was able to use another software to remove all exif data from the images, then reposted these in the album. Something must have worked, because I can now access this album.
