Wordpress - Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

I am downloading plugins etc in wordpress and getting the following error


Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .................


Solved it by changing the value for the param max_execution_time in php.ini, like this:

• max_execution_time = 360      ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds (I CHANGED THIS VALUE)
• max_input_time = 120          ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
• ;max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level
• memory_limit = 128M           ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB by default)
