I've got no clue as to what you should do, but I will say that I doubt
increasing your timeout would help. It seems likely that the problem lies
elsewhere, since it will not even run a simple little "Hello World" script.
Perhaps you have an older version of your php.ini leftover from an older
installation, or something like that. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Good Luck,
