How long should an upgrade take? Any indication as to what is happening?

[js28194 36]

So I have some time now, and trying to upgrade from 4.7.xx to the latest, the server doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.  I have a "fairly" large library, but it seems nothing has happened for 2+ hours now.  No emby service (except embytray.exe) is running so I have no visiblity to what is happening.  Is this normal?  What can I do?  I have a fully backed up Emby-Server Folder so push come to shove I can roll back.  I'm getting unable to connect on http://localhost:8096/web/index.html

You seem to be describing Emby not running.  Try running it again.  If it still stops running, copy the embyserver log from the logs directory and show it here - it may explain what's going wrong.

Hi, yes, and to add to that, the server logs folder can be found here:

What logs are there, if the server is not running.  Doesn't matter now, I had to nuke the whole thing and start fresh.

Presumably the server started running and then stopped - the logs would cover that period, and hopefully record an error which might explain a crash.

4.7 to 4.8 had a one time run to remove the virtual items for missing episodes - it did not report any progress all you could do was wait for it to finish. The last line the log would have identified this to be the case, I think it even said how many items it was dropping in the log line.
