Large Database Updates

[Balto]

Hello guys,

 

I wanted to upgrade my forum to the latest version (IPS Community Suite 4.6.3), but during the update I get this message:

 

 

I am not sure what does that mean and what should I do, so before to proceed I would like to hear from you the steps I would need to do. Has anyone else faces this problem?

Thank you in advance!

It means that if you click 'Continue' then some database upgrades are going to run - they may time out, and in that case you will be presented with a SQL query to run against the database manually.

And it tells you to prepare yourself for that situation - if you don't know how to connect to proceed on connecting to the database via command line (could be SSH etc) then approach your host for advice on how to do that.

Hello Nathan,

 

thank you for your reply! Yeah, I can run a query. But in case that would be necessary, would I get further instructions about that during the update? Or it will just tell me something like "run this query and try again"?

Thank you!

Yes, because...

...this is what will happen. It will provide you with the query, you run it, you continue.
