I need to increase my program run time beyond the default 300 seconds. Is there a way to do that in the control panel or do I have to submt a trouble ticket?
Thanks.

In general, if something is running even near that length it will result in the domain being suspended. This IS a shared hosting environment and there's one thing you have to always think of: "What would happen if everyone on the server did this?"
What exactly are you running? -
As Andrew says.
If you need to run something beyond the default 30 seconds, you either need to rethink your coding, or where you're hosting.
What is it you want to run? Do you have any code that maybe we could help you improve upon? Have you checked for errors or bad loops?

Thanks for the response.
Actually, I am not doing the programming, so I may not know what I'm talking about, but my programmer says that he needs to run a program once to populate a database. The site is a search engine type site.Comment

If it's to populate the database, I'd suggest a simple approach: do it in batches. At the end of a script I wrote, I have:
I learned this approach from SMF's conversion tools from other forum softwares to avoid timeouts and server loads, although I think that one uses a form wich gets submitted with JavaScript instead of using the meta tag, not sure.Code:// Echo a page that'll request the new batch after a sec. if ($start > $total) { echo ' <html> <head> </head> <body> We\'re done =) </body> </html>'; } else { echo ' <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '?start=', $n, '"> </head> <body> In 1 sec will start the batch from ', $n, ' to ', ($n + 5), '. </body> </html>'; }
