    Using the in-browser update and this is what I am getting.

    Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.6-new-bundled.zip…

    Unpacking the update…

    Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in F:\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-admin\includes\class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 242

    Browser: Chrome
    Installation running on portable media and ‘server’ is xampp. (Is this my problem?)

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • That error is happening because the time out et for PHP scripts on your system is the standard 30 seconds – and it’s taking more then 30 seconds to download the update ZIP file. That’s even before it actually does anything with it.

    There’s three things that you can do:

    1. Raise the time out value on your system (there’s a few different ways that this can be done)
    2. Use a faster internet connection
    3. Do a manual update

    amazing! love the forums here.

    I changed the file php.ini in xampp and modified max_execution_time, saved the file, then everything worked!

    Thanks catacaustic.
