Hi,
I just had a nasty scary upgrade experience on my live system but luckily with my backups got everything up and running again with no problems.
I'm upgrading from 5.2.3 to 5.6.1 and after a _long_ wait for anything to come up on the screen, it started trundling down the various things it was upgrading .... I almost got a pageful when bang! Firefox reports that The connection was reset.
I presume this is some sort of timeout ? I wonder if this is at the client end or the server end, unfortunately I was so petrified I didnt really note it down properly! I left it a minute and then tried one of our sites, and got the standard remote errors screen, so I guessed that the upgrade stopped half way and corrupted either the database and/or left the filesystem in an inconsistent state, so I restored both from backup.
I;ve already got long timeouts in my web.config for file uploads - can anyone suggest anything I can do? Is it a slow web server causing this?
Failing that, I guess I could restore locally, upgrade locally, then upload back to the server (upgrading locally worked as a test) - seems long winded solution though ...
Thanks in advance
Rob
