When you run an upgrade from System Settings, it can get stuck on the Checking Environment step. This means that your environment does not meet the system requirements of the new release.

ActiveCollab versions prior to v5.13.133 have a bug that stops displaying appropriate error messages in the interface. Instead, they are displayed only in the browser's console.

To see which requirements are not met, open the browser console first (here's how). Make sure that you have the Console tab focused.

The next step is to go to System Settings and run the installer again. When the system reaches the Checking Environment step and freezes, please see what information is presented in a browser console. That info should help you figure out which requirements are not met.

Once you upgrade the platform to meet the requirements of the new release, you will be able to run an upgrade tool again and complete the upgrade process.

Running Probe Script

You can run probe.php script for the quick compatibility test. Note that probe.php does not guarantee that upgrade will follow through because ActiveCollab's upgrade system always does a more thorough analysis of the environment.
