Yes, its moved to the database. Tried the upgrade again and still getting stuck on step 20, error happens pretty quickly, I would say less than a minute into step 20.

Any other suggestions?...

[Nt_loader]

I moved to a new server and forum URL, admincp works and I can navigate to most of the forum for example articles and new posts however, I can't get to the forums. It's probably just a link I need to...

I tried refreshing several times, it always aborts with the error message in the first post. At this point im considering restoring from backup since I can't continue with the upgrade....

Please help, im stuck. Max allowed packet and wait timeouts are set correctly according to Go Daddy.

Thanks...

[Nt_loader]

I verified this on the server:

max_allowed_packet 268435456

wait_timeout 60


Anything else I can try?...

[Nt_loader]

Can this be done via PHP values? I'm on shared hosting so they are refusing to make the changes directly to mysql values....

[Nt_loader]

Any ideas? Im stuck on the last step:
