After starting the update to 7.0 the icon is still twirling after about thirty minutes. The cancel button is not active and so I cannot cancel the update that way.

What are the consequences of just closing or reloading the page – and what should I look for on the server (and in what directory) to see if there is a temporary file that should be deleted?

The site is still loading properly in another window.

Yep - that is way too long - should never be more than a minute or so. Just refresh the page, run an integrity check and reset caches - then continue with updates. Let me know if that helps.

Running four Jamroom-sites on jbservers.net and have same experience. It fixed with integrity check and reset caches. PHP 7.4. But my sites hosted by jamroom.net the update was quick and normal.

Brian:
It turns out the issue was not that the update stalled, just a failure to communicate success. When I reloaded the page I got the success notice. I did an integrity check followed by resetting the caches and all appears okay.

I did not reset the PHP Opcache as it’s new (to me) and I am not sure it’s needed.

Joe – not sure it’s relevant but this instance of Jamroom is at Contabo.

"Opcache" is a new entry in the Jamroom cache reset - it's a low level cache built in to PHP - depending on how PHP is configured on your server you may not see PHP script changes until Opcache is reset - so that's been added in JR7.

Updating should never take more than a few minutes unless you are on a severely overloaded server - if it seems to hang just refresh and re-run - should be good.
