XF 1.2 Upgrade won't move past 1.1.0 Beta 1, Step 3

[tmb]

Upgrading from 1.0.3 to 1.2.5 and it has been hung on the 1.1.0 Beta 1, Step 3 step for about an hour. Restarted the server to see if that would help and same thing. Didn't have this issue with a test update.

Is there any way around this?

That suggests it's step 4 which is the problem, which involves an xf_post table alter.

How big is your forum?

That would explain it then.
You need to wait for the query to complete, it may take some time.

Thanks for the quick response. I've had my browser time out a few times, will it still go through eventually? Any way to do it manually with a query or anything else to speed it up?

You should really be using the CLI upgrader for a forum that big.

Didn't know that option existed. Is there a guide or anything on the CLI steps?

It needs to be run from the CL as a php executable.

For example, on my local host I would run this command from C:\xampp\php:

php.exe c:\xampp\htdocs\test\community\library\xenforo\install\run-upgrade.php
