 * I am attempting to do an upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.6.3 via my hosting package (
   through CPanel and running automatic upgrade process).
 * The following error message is displayed:
 * **Upgrading…**
 * Initializing Parameters – Done.
    Warning: system() has been disabled for security
   reasons in /tmp/cpanel_phpengine.1227518059.34446_2pyHIHir on line 1445
 * Upgrade failed
 * The database oncall_wrdp1 is not working properly and the creation of a database
   backup file has failed. Please contact the sysadmin for further assistance. Include
   this message for reference.
 * The initial installation has not been modified.
 * I emailed tech support at my hosting company and had the following reply
 * **This is normally caused by a bad install of a script or a damaged database,
   you need to double check that
    the authors of wordpress have not reported any
   problems with the upgrade on thier own support forum
 * Regards,
 * To date, there has been no errors or problems with the preconfigured installation
   and and I cannot find anything here on the support forum which would answer this
   problem.
 * Any advice people?
 * With thanks
 * Chris Hall

 * That would seem to point to a problem with your database. Use [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin)
   to backup your database, then repair all the tables in your database, do another
   backup, then try the upgrade.
