Upgrade from 1.9.4.3 to 1.11.4 crashes

[bob_basli]

I want/need to upgrade my site from 1.9.4.3 to 1.11.4. I tried almost every possible step (first from 1.9.4.3 to 1.10 an the onward and this step)
In both cases the upgrade stalls at building static root database.
Database is running php 5.2.17.
Any cluess?

Arjan

are all your modules up-to-date? Some modules like guestbook block upgrading.

In both cases the upgrade stalls at building static root database.

Actually not exactly root but route: maybe this will help.

Modules are up to date, frontend users I renamed because caused a problem in the past.
Jo, thanks 4 correcting my typo...

My suggestion: Post the report from Site Admin -> System Information after you have updated modules; this will probably help diagnose problems.

Hereby the list of installed modules.
I had my .htaccess surpress messages regarding php 5.3.x but after removing the additional lines and trying to upgrade again, the problem remains.

That's quite a list of modules. Does the site use them all? If not I would start removing those it doesn't use.

Check the status of the others at http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/ - put the name in the search box. Some don't appear (e.g. FCKeditorX is no longer supported or listed).

The more you can get rid of the greater your chance of a successful upgrade.
