Upgrade 2.0.18 to 2.1RC4 - stuck at 7%. (Yep, this again)

[landyvlad]

I made a copy of my live forum. (including database under different name)
Fixed all links etc and it was running properly as a stand alone test forum.

I then deleted most of the boards so I'd have a smaller forum to work with for the test 2.1 upgrade.
Was working fine

I uploaded the new set of files (nightly upgrade) from: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=558451

ran upgrade.php and...

at Step 3 backup.
It's sitting at 4% total, 7% step
Time Elapsed: 140 mins, 35 seconds.

So yeah that's not right shouldn't be taking anywhere near this long !

What to do?

There's no attachments-save table, is that from a mod, or?

[Kindred]

meh....  do your own back up --- and the SKIP the "make a backup" part of the upgrader.

[landyvlad]

How can I skip that part?  There doesn't seem to be any option to do so when running upgrade.php

[Kindred]

Unheck the backup tables box at the start

OK I'll have a look tonight thanks mate.

[landyvlad]

That worked thanks !

This happened to me too,....I just kept refreshing my browser and it just carried on from where it left off until installed.

I did an upgrade to my "forum" to the RC version tonight. Understand that I dabble with this and do not have a huge forum nor anything special. I have TinyPortal, a Gallery addon, and Simple Audio Video Embedder as addons.

So at first I had around 53,000 errors. Yes that number is correct. Yet, everything eventually went to normal.So, now we test. I have the original forum backups and as I said, I have little traffic so its a good experiment.

The installer seemed to "stall" but while appearing to have done so it did not. Still buggy but moving forward at any rate.
