Can anyone help me to fix it?

Answer 1

The problem is the maximum execution time being exceeded. To fix this, you should change the maximum execution time in your php.ini file. Click on the Wamp icon on the taskbar, select PHP -> php.ini, find "max_execution_time" and change it from 30 to like 100-300, to make sure even the slower scripts get their job done before the timeout.

Remember to restart the server after you change the settings.

Answer 2

I was also getting the similar kind of error, during drupal installation, with response text "Drupal already installed". I fixed it by making below changes in php.ini,

max_execution_time = 180

max_input_time = 180

max_input_nesting_level = 300

memory_limit = 512M
