I'm trying to set up a development server and am trying to install drupal (using the ubercart delux installation package) on it, but and when I get to the step to configure database I hit a problem. I put in the database name and user name, click save configuration, and I get this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 153
Anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?

I tried to increase the max
I tried to increase the max execution time by changing the resource limits in WAMP's php.ini file to greater than 30 seconds (change to: max_execution_time = 120). Apparently it didn't work because I tried install again and got this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 153

Try editing $db_url string
This can happen. Another common issue is the database configuration never completes.
Try editing the $db_url = string in the settings.ini file, which is located in the sites/default folder for your Drupal installation.
This has plagued many Windows installations.
