Timing Out?

[shanecf]

I'm in the process of testing out this CMS, and I've encountered some difficulty.  I'm running php 4.4.2, apache 1.3.36, mysql 5.0.22, and CMS Made Simple 1.0.1.

I've set up a site... started my own template... removed some of the default content and added a new "Home" page.  I've edited the footer... removed a couple of the default groups... added a group of my own and an extra user.  I've made no other changes that I can think of off the top of my head.

The only thing that came up during the installation process that was bad was that the maximum upload size is only 2M, if I remember correctly.  Everything else was fine.

So, here's my problem.  I can't add new content.  I go in to do so... fill out the form... throw some data down in the WYSIWYG editor... hit submit... and... the site appears to time out each time.  One of the times the cms just stopped working.  I could go to the normal part of my website... but nothing regarding the cms (front end or back end) would load.  It didn't start working again until I restarted Apache.

Sometimes I get no error, other times I will get an error like this one: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /(path to the cms)/lib/adodb_lite/adodbSQL_drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.inc on line 303

Checking the database, some of the data managed to get in.  However, the following fields didn't get data: Hierarchy, id_hierarchy, hierchy_path, prop_names, metadata, titleattribute, tabindex, and accesskey.

So, this page is in the database... and when I go to add new content, I can see it listed as an option to make the new content a child of the nonexistant page... but it does not appear on the main menu of the website or under the list of Pages in the back end.

I'm guessing that this is some sort of an issue with communication to MySQL.  Does anyone have any ideas?  So far I love this CMS, and I was just about ready to put my seal of approval on it and recommend it for our website.
