Hello
When I tried to upgrade one blog it worked fine. But it just wouldn’t work for another one on the same server with the same apache + mysql + php … each time the screen kind of froze, nothing happened, if I used a proxy is said zero length page, Lynx said connection interupted… it didn’t always look the same, depending what browser I used. But in all cases nothing happened to the DB.
I looked at and debugged the code and found out where it got stuck. What happened is that at one place it has to load all the posts in memory and if the DB is too big, there isn’t enough mem available! So I check my php.ini file, there was none. Then I installed the “recommended” one, increased the mem from the default 8M to 16M and restarted Apache. That solved the problem!
I wonder if in the case of a very big DB, a command prompt upgrade script wouldn’t be better!
