Unable to proceed with upgrade

I'm trying to update a large forum to 4.6.12.1. during the upgrade it asks to run some DB cleanup commands (and by some, i mean it was a small Novel). The Database is quite large so i ran everything manually on the console directly. I hit "check again" after doing so but it still reports the same command. On the support page its showing DB issues, but i'm unable to get past them. is there an index i'm supposed to run to realign the dashboard? am i not waiting long enough for the checks to.. check out?

i ran each of them against the right DB and, as far as i could tell, there were no errors returned (snippit below)

I tried running them through the ACP before and it broke the forum because it took too long - i ended up restoring the backup db and files. I can try it again... but dont want to risk breaking it again.

You can find the correct database in conf_global.php

What you showed here is different than above screenshot. Is this just a snippet or are you getting new/different queries after each run?

If just a snippet, please provide us access:

We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. 

We look forward to further assisting you.

the black screenshots are the sql console directly, showing the rows affected, and that the query succeeded. I did console directly to prevent the timeouts that i think i ran into the last attempt

i just modified the access information a minute ago, should be correct

Please ensure you ran it against the database mentioned in the file above.

Unfortunately, it is still invalid.

i did confirm that the db i was running the commands against is the right one. (the SQL commands call for creating "_new" tables, i see them being created and records being moved to them, before it drops the old and renames the new)

 

i'm not sure the issue with the FTP, i just re-copied/pasted the information and it worked for me? 

i changed the option to just "FTP" maybe that should help? it should be FTP with SSL though

Thank you for updating those.

Did you manually attempt to update your tables to UTF8MB4? Unfortunately, there are a lot of weird collations in your database. I would suggest running our conversion if you attempted this manually.

For UTF8mb4, you will need to use our conversion tool. There is no way around it, I'm afraid. There is a CLI option which is available and recommended for large databases. You can find this information it the ACP -> Support area:
