When I moved to a new host (Media Temple), I also upgraded to RC1. I skipped RC2 and I’m currently running RC3.

Ever since I switched, I have had three occasions in which bbPress informed me that I needed to upgrade the database. I get this message when I go to the admin panel. Fist I notice that certain plugins aren’t activated (which were activated previously), and so I go to the admin panel and get the upgrade massage.

Here are the upgrade messages:

Beginning upgrade…

Tags copied to taxonomy tables: bb_upgrade_1080

Display names populated: bb_upgrade_1090

Index forum_stickies dropped: bb_upgrade_1100

>>> Done

Is this a problem with my host? A bbPress bug? Hacking? Could it be related to my recount problem (see my previous post for info)?

Thanks in advance…

And now I posted and got this message:

Database error: [Out of memory (Needed 2093072 bytes)]

I am also on MediaTemple. Do you have a dedicated server, or are you on the grid?

[citizenkeithParticipant @citizenkeith 3 years, 11 months ago]

I’m using the grid.

I opened a ticket with MT, so I’ll report back with their response.

[johnhilerMember @johnhiler 3 years, 11 months ago]

Ah ok. We’re using a dedicated server…

This post reported that MT grid uses NFS, which supposedly isn’t good for bbPress?

I used MT grid for a long time and had a lot of problems. But it could’ve been their growing pains, which I hear they’ve grown past. We’ve had a great experience with their dedicated servers, although it’s a totally different setup.

That topic also mentioned a tweak that the user made just for the 1.0 alpha on the MT grid – dunno if that would help at all, but thought I’d share the link anyway.

[citizenkeithParticipant @citizenkeith 3 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks John, I’ll check it out.

MT reported back saying they could not recreate the problem. They ran some tests but came up empty.

citizenkeith: did you ever resolve your issue?

I’m having similar (DB connection…DB upgrade requests) and I’m on MT GS, trying to upgrade from 0.9 to 1.0.2

Just looking for some extra information before I wipe out the 1.0 install dir and try again clean from the top.
