For each upgrade task it: - fires off a separate Ajax request to run the task - shows a "progress" spinner while it waits for a response - and then once it gets a response it updates the page and fires off the next task The problem is that this system doesn't handle errors well. If the Ajax script errors out, it continues showing the "progress" spinner forever. Consequently we get a LOT of error reports where people complain that "installation takes forever", when in fact it errored out after 30 seconds or whatever and it just never told them. We need to update this process so that it actually lets you know when it failed, and why. The simplest solution, suggested by Robert, is that we put a timeout on waiting for the Ajax response. Mahara sets max_execution_time itself, so we could: 1. Make the ajax time out after max_execution_time 2. Show an error icon 3. Fire off a second ajax response to a script that gets any error messages from the session and displays those on the page. That should be pretty robust against any type of error.
