Upgrading times out

[Shades.]

Trying to upgrade from 2.0.18 to 2.1RC4 but it keeps timing out between 49-69% complete. I've tried the upgrade download here and the github one. Host tried to help but no resolve...so I guess I gotta wait until the final? I don't know how to do all the command promp php stuff I've read about. The only thing I saw in my cpanel like that was something called "Terminal" and I was afraid to touch that thing..lol!  

I saw this post but it's from 2015!

not sure if it will help but make sure that all of your error logs are cleared out first, might help with some of the timeouts

I cleared the error our first and skipped the backup process cause I have a back up of my own before I started the upgrade.

It stalls out everytime at "Executing: "Updating files that fetched from simplemachines.org" (28 of 71)".

I even tried another time upgrading to RC3 first and it stalled at same spot.

Forgot to upload image in first post...

I have one 2.0 forum, but I don't plan to upgrade at this time.
But I think you need to perform these actions before upgrade:

- switch forum to default theme
- set default forum language to English
- uninstall all mods
- repair any errors via Admin => Maintenance => Routine and Admin => Maintenance => Database
- clear File cache
- in cPanel => PHP Manager, increase max_execution_time to 600

I did all of these things to the "T" with no success from 2.0.18 to 2.1RC4. No matter what I tried, the upgrade haulted at #28 "Executing: "Updating files that fetched from simplemachines.org" (28 of 71)"!?

I have since decided to not upgrade but installed a fresh install of 2.0.18 with no mods, and mainly just to clean up all my files so I'm running with no errors. Made a duplicate site with duplicate database (fresh install no mods) and tried to upgrade that to 2.1RC4 and got haulted in same spot #28. It keeps hanging up at "Updating files that fetched from simplemachines.org" (28 of 71)" no matter what I do so I dunno!

Oh and yes I've been using the nightly updates from github...

How many rows of data do you have in smf_admin_info_files?

I swear we just helped someone out with this same issue, & admin_info_files had been truncated somehow...

Same person as shown by this topic and whatever is in the table is probably wrong, as shown by this topic.

I'm on iPad today so no convenient access to look up what it *should* be but it's wrong currently.

That was me lol!

Looks like 7 rows.

Also those rows are empty!
How do I fix that? I'm guessing that be the problem!!?
