Nearly Same Problem here:
Have installed this (php_info):
Code:
Server API CGI/FastCGI
Virtual Directory Support disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/cgi
Loaded Configuration File /var/www/fcgi/suther.de/php5/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d
additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/adodb.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/curl.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/gd.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/gmp.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/imap.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mcrypt.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mhash.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mysql.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/pdo.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/xdebug.ini, /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/xsl.ini[/code
]
But didn't got the .htaccess parameter "max_execution-time 300" to take effect.
Even if i change /var/www/fcgi/domainname/php5/php.ini, it takes no effect.
