 * I am running a site on WordPress v4.01 . I have setup this site on my vps.
    Recently
   I am noticing strange issue on its php.ini info that it shows up max_execution_time
   = 0 in most of every plugin that shows server side information. Rest of other
   php information’s are showing correct except max_execution But if I drop a phpinfo.
   php file for checking up my site php configuration for this wordpress installation
   dir then I am seeing max_execution has been given 120. This tools that I have
   used so far for look up : ithemes security , ServerBuddy.
 * Need to mention that my site using php 5.6 with fastcgi+apcu. Also I have another
   php 5.4 installed from OS. I tried to switch back to it and if i do then it shows
   max_execution that has been set for 5.4 php.ini (120). But if I set it to 5.6
   for that site then it shows 0.
 * You might be thinking that 5.6 php.ini might have set max_execution = 0. But 
   no.. it has been set as 120. Because I set that php 5.6 version for another site
   also where I noticed that it is showing correct execution for that site which
   has been set in php.ini 5.6.
 * Restarting server didn’t even helped also. Now I am not understanding what else
   could be overwriting this max_execution process?.
 * This is inside of site. where it shows wrong information: [http://i.imgur.com/Bj0tv35.png](http://i.imgur.com/Bj0tv35.png)
 * And this is phpinfo.php for that site dir: [http://goo.gl/tWeF0P](http://goo.gl/tWeF0P)
 * Os Debian wheezy 64 bit.
    Apache 2.2 Php 5.4 (default)+Fastcgi +Xcache, Php 5.6
   +Fastcgi+apcu
 * Any helpful advice would be great to resolve this.
 * Thanks.
