System, Ubuntu 10.04
php 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.17
mysql 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
DB size is 641 MB 

I've done no customizations to mahara.

When I swap the new code in (move old code out, put new code in, not merge) and then copy my config.php back in, I go to [domain]/mahara/admin/upgrade.php.  At that point it just seems to hang with the little spinner going around and around.

Not sure what more information would be helpful, so please let me know what might help.

Hi Micah,

Have you tried any of the workarounds posted on the other threads with this topic?  The following especially may help you get through:

 https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=4562#post20421

 https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=4562#post20465

Failing that, try this one:

We'll put out another release shortly to try and make the upgrade more robust, but in the meantime, I think those tweaks will be your best bet.
