Hi i try to increment max_execution_time and max_input_time and connect_timeout to be in the min. values but even with the htaccess file there i cant see any changes, so i cant proced to install.. here is what i add to htaccess

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value max_execution_time 259200
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value post_max_size 5M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value memory_limit 300M
php_value max_execution_time 259200
php_value max_input_time 259200
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200
</IfModule>

What can i do to solve this, thanks. What am i missing.

I have checked that php is loading the correct php.ini

Loaded Configuration File /home1/ottounif/public_html/acuaristasmexico/php.ini

wich looks like this (after several tests):

ini_set('max_execution_time', 1200); //300 seconds = 5 minutes
upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M

not working

Found the issue Joomla is loading another php.ini

Loaded Configuration File /usr/php/54/etc/php.ini

=( how can i solve this.

The php.ini needs to be placed in the administrator folder of joomla , thanks :D
