Hi all

Just wanted to share an issue we had and how it was fixed (some solutions already provided in this thread but I don't believe this exact and very easy fix that ended up working for us as we could not edit the server PHP settings as it's on a shared server).

During backups we would randomly get Error 500 (basically the backup was taking longer than the PHP time out and displaying the Error 500 after around 1 - 1.5min of running)

If any one has this same issue (which I see a number of people have already) the below seemed to fix it for us:

Zencart Admin --> Configuration --> My Store --> Admin Set max_execution_time for processes --> 200

Hope it helps others.... Enjoy!
