• It is highly recommended to install of web servers that do not limit maximum execution time for PHP scripts or where this limitation is not less than 3 minutes.
  WebAsyst Installer uncompresses entire archive with script files during installation — this allows properly setting file access permissions (chmod) automatically during installation and downloading archive with software updates (automated scripts update system). If your web server limits the maximum scripts execution time, WebAsyst installation wizard will not be able to uncompress archive with script files (usually it takes about 2-3 minutes) which means that you will have to install software and set file permissions (chmod) manually.
