On my production systems, updating from 1.8.2 to 1.9.2 stalls at "Deleting old default messages..." Sure hope nothing important was supposed to happen after that. Happens each time I run the script, and also on taizhongbus.jidanni.org too. $ /usr/local/php5/bin/php radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/maintenance/update.php X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.1 ... MediaWiki 1.9.2 Updater ... Deleting old default messages...
It may take some time. How long does it stall for?
In computing, we have some operations which take up time. Shocking though it is in this modern era of fast computing, multi-cored processors and billions of concurrent operations, the solution is simple. Sit back and have a cup of tea. [On a more serious note, Simetrical added a warning that the operation can take some time.]
Your long and my long might differ. Add progress indicators.
