Update Fatal Error

Recommended Posts

crookedriver

I was just configuring a fresh install of WordPress 3.4.1 and PageLines for a new site when I ran the update themes process to update PageLines to 2.2.2. During the update PageLines reported a fatal error and now the entire WordPress site is down only giving me a "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute." message. What's the best way to recover from this? Any ideas why this happened during the update and what I can do so it doesn't happen again? This is the first site I've tried to update. Can't afford to have other sites brought down like this.

After some time I refreshed the page again and the script ran successfully. WordPress is out of maintenance mode and all appears to be working. The solution appears to be to wait and refresh the update page hoping the update will re-run.

Hey crookedriver, Great to hear your site is back up and running again! You see, this is why we recommend making back-ups before any update. Maybe the connection to the server was lost or a conflict happened... Always remember to make back-ups so you don't lose anything in the event of a faulty update. Glad everything is OK! :)
