Hi,

I am trying to update membership status by running UpdateMembershipRecord.php. The membership table has about 575 records. The script executes for a while and then ends with 404 error message and the statuses do not get updated.

This is the command I issued and the result - I have masked the site details, password etc

wget 'http://mywebsite/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/UpdateMembershipRecord.php?name=username&pass=password&key=sitekey'

=> `UpdateMembershipRecord.php?name=username&pass=password&key=sitekey'
Resolving mywebsite.org... xx.xx.xx.xx
Connecting to mywebsite.org|xx.xx.xx.xx|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Component not found
10:28:00 ERROR 404: Component not found.

I know the script exists and works fine because when I tested with just 10 membership records, the script executes properly.

I tried adding set_time_limit(0) to the beginning of the Updatemembershiprecord.php hoping to overrride the PHP max execution time - it did not help. I still get the 404 error.

Could you please help? Please let know if you need any other info.

My civicrm version: CiviCRM 2.2.7
Joomla version: 1.5.12
PHP Version 5.2.9
MySQL version 5.0.32

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your response. I contacted the hosting provider Dreamhost. The max execution time is set to 90 secs. Dreamhost support suggested me to create a custom ini file to override the execution time. I have not had a chance to try your second suggestion.

In case some one needs this for future, here is a link for creating custom ini file. The thread refers to increasing upload size, but apparently it can be used for other ini variables
