Install using LiveUpdate

I have upgraded my server using the LiveUpdate feature, but half-way through it generated a stack overflow error 0 and some database commands didn't finish, etc. Now even though it says its upgraded, I'm not so sure. Isn't there a LiveUpdate feature where we can force a repair... like in the Extension repository. Because after LiveUpdate (even on a failure at PHP / MySQL level), it still thinks everything is ok and you can't live update again...? Maybe I can just change some setting in localconfig.php to make it think its still on a previous version to force the upgrade again?

Just decrease the build number in your system/constants.php, then you can run the Live Update again.

That works, but my system still throws a stack error and a mysql error. What settings can I adjust so that it doens't do that anymore... I think its taking too long to download the files and process them, so the PHP-MySQL link is lost...

Code:

"MySQL server has gone away" is typically a server configuration issue. I never stumbled upon it using TYPOlight though. Is this a shared hosting server with a lot of clients? Did you contact the support?

Its obviously a shared hosting solution -- I don't think we have any other type here in South Africa... its just too expensive.

I haven't contacted them, as I'm still not sure it was their error? I have updated TL on another website, which is also on their hosting but just on another shared server and that one worked fine...

The error is typically thrown if there are too many MySQL requests. It does not mean that those are your requests though! If one of the other 500 users causes a lot of traffic or misconfigures his account, it does affect yours, too. That is why the international TYPOlight forum is not available every now and then :)
