To Cookbook- and Joomla!-Tester.

I've found that Joomla! 2.5 might lead to system Time Out. I got this on a local Xampp system. e.g. when choosing Extensions -> Manage.

This was dependent of the number of extensions. It could though apply to oher funtions as data transfers. It could also be a problem on server systems.

Fix on a local Xampp system:

Open he file php.ini in path ... xampp/php/ Look for the line

max_execution_time = XX

I increased the standard value 30 (XX) to 90 and I didn't get the time out anymore.
