title: The MyBB upgrage 1.6 > 1.8 stucks on Database updating
body: <p>I attempted to upgrade my MyBB forum from 1.6.18 version to 1.18.21.
  The script stuck at Database updating:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Updating Database
    Performing necessary upgrade queries...
    Click next to continue with the upgrade process.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Then instead there is a button that can't be clicked [Automatically Redirecting...]</p>
  
  <p>My site is hosted on a free hosting, so I thinked it is not much powerful to do an ugpgrade, also if my db is not so big, just 55mb.
  Then I setup AAMPS on my pc and tried on that.
  I edited mysql config file to increment max_allowed_packet to 1000m
  But incredibly............ it stucks EXACTLY at the same point with the same result. I left the page for more than 1 hour and it's still stay on the Updating Database page.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me please?
  I maybe should edit some php or mysql config?</p>
