7.1 Release Discussion #179082 02/22/2007 11:18 AM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 626 Canada Daryl Fawcett Addict Daryl Fawcett Addict Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 626 Canada I can't access the database now as my server provider is having a problem giving me the extra 1200 Mb of space. Once I am connected again, will it be OK to reload that step?

It's a bit unknown where it died since it basically sounds like it ran out of space. If you have something like phpmyadmin installed, what I would do first is see how far it got by running the following command: select * from ubbt_VERSION that will tell you if it got to a certain step of the altertable before it hung up.

Is this the last step?

I wouldn't imagine it should take more than a few minutes on most forums.

I was also able to go into and read a topic. It is still doing that step though. Does this mean that the step has been completed even though it is still hung up in that step? It shows 7.1 on the bottom.

You don't want to stop it until it says it's done. When finished it will give you a list of steps and what it actually did, I believe 12 in total. Yes, this should be it's own topic. This is just meant for basic discussion on the release.
