I’m trying to upgrade an installation of EE 1.6.8 to 2.9.2 and have come unstuck on the “Database too large” error in the upgrade wizard.
Specifically:
The following error occurred:
An unexpected error occurred while performing the update
Your database is too large to perform this part of the upgrade via a web request. Please contact your system administrator and have them run the script located at:
/Work/MYWEBSITE/Site Upgrade 2014/ee-localserver-01/system/expressionengine/cache/installer/update.sh
Then access this page again.I have run the update shell script but it finishes within seconds and outputs this result:
