Thread:Project:Support desk/upgrade from 1.14 to 1.18 failed / large database

Website: http://www.princevault.com Product 	Version MediaWiki 	1.14.0 PHP 	5.2.13 (apache2handler) MySQL 	5.0.77

Upgrading test server: Website: www.blrarchive.com/prince.vault/ MediaWiki 	1.18.0 + sql database hosted on http://www.princevault.com (back-up made) PHP 	5.2.17 MySQL 	5.1.60

I uploaded the mediawiki 1.18 files on the test server, then pointed to my current database, which is hosted on another server. When I press "continue" for the database to be upgraded to 1.18 version, this resulted in an error: "[an error occurred while processing this directive]".

The database itself looks intact, I have checked several pages in www.princevault.com. Anyway I do have a back-up of it. So that's not really the issue. I'd like to know what to do now, because the page on http://www.blrarchive.com/prince.vault/ is stuck onto the error page.

My database is approx 210 Mib big, this is probably the source of the issue, but I don't have shell access on my different servers. Plus english is not my mother tongue, so sometimes I am not sure I understand the instructions correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.
