Not a bug Imagick error

[Member_68162]

Affected version

XF2 beta 6

I'm not sure if this is a bug or an issue with my server. I'm seeing:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded src/XF/Image/Imagick.php:244

It's likely neither a bug nor an issue with the server, per se.

If I had to guess, someone uploaded a large GIF. The problem with large GIFs and Image Magick is that each frame in the GIF has to be resized one by one. If it has a load of frames then it can just take too long (it does depend on the resources available to the server to a certain extent).

As a workaround, you might want to look at the max_execution_time setting in php.ini. It defaults to 30 seconds, but increasing it to 60 might be reasonable.

Thank you, Chris. That took care of the issue.
