My upgrade is hanging and failing to upgraded.

The simple:Press is being upgraded page says "Upgrade is in progress - please wait" and the gif icon shows but no status reports back no builds nothing else.  Just a big yellow box and it never finished.

What should i do next?

*Build 9877 to 11023.

 

Thanks,

Sounds like it is clearly either hanging/timing out, there is a script error somewhere - or - and we have discovered this to be a problem on some sites - another process is adding items to the html request and return values making them unreadable by the SP upgrade script. A typical example of that would be a security plugin adding tokens for example.

The first thing to do would probably be to look in the php error log to see if anything is recorded that might suggest a hang or time-out. I will also look at the instructions between 5.2.6 and 5.4.1 to see if anything stands out as potentially problematic although that is quite a big version jump...

TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'document.getElementFromId('imagezone')')  spjPerformUpgrade

I've followed any instructions that were provided.   Where can i find all upgrades from 5.2.6 to this point.  I'm happy to incrementally install updates.  Just glad i tried on baseball before i tried on my football site.

Problem in the code:  sp-install.js uses an invalid function document.getElementFromId().  

Solution : Rename function to document.getElementById().

why do you think that's invalid?   many hundreds of thousands of upgrades have worked just fine with it - so what is different with your system?

will research it further though...
