Joomla not working (it was working before)

[Phobia]

Error Message

Call to undefined function Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\set_time_limit()

Other Information

My website started to give the set_time_limit error 2-3 days ago but before that it was working completely fine.

This issue is still going for 3 days so I decided to make a post about it, I saw the function being disabled and Joomla is not working without this function. I assumed the function was disabled because the PHP Upgrade and will be activated but my website is still down.

What can I do to make Joomla work? I hope nobody just tries to exploit the website while its not working because I think its unprotected right now because of the outages.

No, this function has always been disabled in our hosting, please check the answer in a similar topic:

Call to undefined function Joomla

This function is not supported: Check the post below by @Phobia on how to remove this function to make your site work:

this error started 2-3 days ago and my website is still down, if there is no fix then show me how can I move it to another host.

If you’ve found a new hosting provider, you can ask them. Alternatively, this guide works for moving websites to InfinityFree, but parts of it apply for moving out as well:

How to migrate your website to InfinityFree

If your website doesn’t use MySQL databases, moving your site is very easy. Simply upload all your files to the ‘htdocs’ folder on your hosting account with FTP or a file manager. If you have a PHP based website, check if it has any configuration files where a domain name or file path needs to be set. Update these values as required. If your website is using MySQL databases, you need to move the database contents as well and update the configuration of your website to use the database: Backup…

I managed to fix the error myself,

here is how to fix it;
go to htdocs/libraries/src/Filesystem/Folder.php
and delete the set_time_limit functions (the whole line that function is being used)

then go to htdocs/administrator/components/com_scheduler/src/Scheduler/Scheduler.php
search for “// Let’s try to avoid time-outs” and delete the whole “if” function.

this should work if you installed joomla from softaculous and getting this error.

Hello. Thank you for your support.
I tried it but:

-When you say “delete the set_time_limit functions (the whole line that function is being used)” do you mean that I have to delete the text “@set_time_limit(ini_get(‘max_execution_time’))”?. I can find 3 of those texts, at lines number 44, 310 and 615.

-I don’t have a com_scheduler folder at Components.

Thanks.

EDIT: I got it! I just deleted those lines (nothing about missing com_scheduler folder) and the issue is gone!

Thank you!
