Can i know what is the problem and how can I fix it”.

I actually started upgrading since my CMS URLs stopped working..

[msinus]

my config.php had this:

<?php

ini_set("display_errors", true);
ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
ini_set("max_execution_time", "2880");

I notice it's moved along. Try refreshing it each time it stops, you may find it's actually progressing.

Also, remove the display errors line from config.php. It's possibly displaying php warnings that don't cause any issues, but their display will stop the script.

Thank you Mark.
I have rmeoved display errors line from config.php
Still the same.

You have BOM (Byte-Order-Mark) characters at the beginning of your config.php.
You can use the editor Notepad++ to remove these characters and/or change the encoding of the file.

Thank you Pogo. It worked.
Changed the config.php file encoding using notepadd++
