Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

[itnecor]

I'm trying to insert a large data into my mysql database but I always get this error 'Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded....'

How can I prevent this?

Please help.

How many records are you inserting? Can you try inserting just a few records at a time?

how are you trying to insert it?

Looks like PHP. If so, have a look at set_time_limit() [php.net] and it's assocatied configuration directives.

Maybe you have an infinite loop going on...
