Colonel_mortis Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The HTTP upgrader is really slow (upgrading from 3.4.8 to 4.1.5.2 it has been running for over 8 hours on our fairly large site, and it's not very far through (this is a test upgrade)), so it would be create if you could run it as a CLI program instead. That way, you don't have to deal with the large overhead associated with HTTP requests, and you don't have to get the site operator to run queries for you because it can never time out. The UTF8 converter CLI works pretty well, so I don't see why an upgrader couldn't do the same. I get that it's not something that can just be added overnight, but it would be a really useful future for the next time there are some seriously major changes to be made.

Nathan Explosion Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The upgrader is taking 8 hours? Never heard of that before - the post-upgrade rebuilds, yes. But not the actual upgrade itself. What step is the upgrader currently on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 yea, seems odd. upgrader shouldnt take very long. when it finishes the rebuilding process is done in background outside of the upgrader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_mortis Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Part of it was that it stopped every couple of minutes to run a manual query, and there are almost 7M posts in the forum alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 To be expected - it will ask you to run queries manually to guard against the potential for it timing out while running those queries automatically. My forum is ~3 million posts, and my test upgrades (including the manual queries) have never gone beyond the 30 minute mark at any point. What step is your upgrader currently at, after 8 hours?

My forum is ~3 million posts, and my test upgrades (including the manual queries) have never gone beyond the 30 minute mark at any point. What step is your upgrader currently at, after 8 hours? It has now finished. I get why it asks for manual queries, but if it was running as a CLI app, it wouldn't need that because they can't time out.

Nathan Explosion Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Fine - the additional information from your other posts gives more background to the request, so more meat to the bones so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
