 * It means the WordPress update script is taking longer than the WAMP server’s 
   configured session timeout setting. You may have to do a manual update by downloading
   the latest version of WordPress and copying over the files into your WAMP server
   making sure not to overwrite the wp-config.php file and the wp-content folder.

 * Try this.
    - Click on the WAMP icon in your task manager (bottom right of the screen).
    - Choose **PHP -> php.ini**. It should open up your PHP.INI file in a text editor.
    - Find the line:
       `max_execution_time = 30`
    - Change it to:
       `max_execution_time = 60`
    - Save and close the PHP.INI file.
    - Click on the WAMP icon in your task manager and choose **Restart all services**.
 * Now try again. If it still doesn’t work, maybe try setting it to an even higher
   number than 60 (120, 150, etc).

 * Hi,
    Create file called php.ini on your at C:\wamp21\www\ then write it inside
   the file ‘max_execution_time = 300’
