5.1.9 upgrade aborted 20 of 20

[William Thomas Jr]

I am receiving the following error during 20 of 20 upgrading from version 5.1.8 to 5.1.9:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Note: I disabled all hooks, and also ran the upgrade 3x. Each time it kicked out the same error.

My upgrade did this as well (it also did this on the 5.1.8 upgrade) I deleted the install folder and the admincp shows the site has been upgraded and everything *seems* to be working fine but I'm hoping this is an issue that gets resolved.

Same here, the site shows as being upgraded to 5.1.9 in the admincp. The site works without error though the upgrade was aborted.

I had the same issue with my test site. It's because the custom style is taking too long to merge. If you have command line access, cd to your install directory and run the upgrade script with the following command. My php version is 5.5 hence the 55 in the php command. Givr it a few minutes and you'll see the status updates as they occur.

php55 upgrade.php

Thanks to all that helped. I deleted all styles and themes from in the install folder that I wasn't using. That left me with four styles. I contacted my host and they ran the php command. They said the upgrade was still failing and had to raise the limits:

connect_timeout=300
interactive_timeout=300
wait_timeout=300
delayed_insert_timeout=300

The upgrade completed successfully:

Please note that the 'clientscript/vbulletin_css' (OR wherever you set as css file location) directory and its sub directories need to be writable by your web server. If you did not execute this upgrade as the user under which your web server operates, there may have been files and folders written to 'clientscript/vbulletin_css' that are not writable. If you encounter error messages about not being able to write to the 'clientscript/vbulletin_css' directory within the admin cp, check that this directory and its sub directories allow your web server to write to them.
