Keep getting

Down for Maintenance (Err 2) An upgrade is currently in progress... Please come back soon.

 

Currently running a leased version of v5.3.14.

 

Seems to be timing out.

 

Tried expanding the php timeout, but that doesn't help. Using Softaculous to perform the ugrade. Yes, keeping backups first.

Hello GreenDragon,

 

Did you solve this problem? I would definitely recommend using a manual upgrade method of

 

(1) Backup all files in the web directory.

(2) Backup your database

(3) SFTP or FTP and delete all your old v5 files except configuration.php

(4) Upload full V6 files.

(5) Perform V6 install (will upgrade your v5 database)

(6) Test to make sure your site looks good.

(7) Reinstall any customization's you want to carry over from v5 (custom themes, purchased addons, etc.)

 

Let me know if you run into any problems or need any hands on help.

 

Best,

Trevor~
