update application is running and in progress forever!

[RockMariska]

Hi to All,

I've read several same kind of issues but no solution so far, that's why I'm trying to find a way to get this solved.

I'm using magento 2.1.7 everything was running smooth until I wanted to update a extension through the backend extension manager. there was an update ready and while updating it get's stuck, it keeps running forever with the console log saying update is already running....which is for 3 days now!!! I also cannot access the module manager, system upgrade from backend it just opens right away in the extension screen:

is there anyone who could help me to get out of this forever hanging issue? Thank you so much in advance for your time and response

Hi @joanmarc,

I was wandering if you already found a solution to the issue? 

[joanmarc · Accepted solution]

Yes @RockMariska! I found a solution

Try to remove all .files in /www/html/yourmagentoinst/var folder except .htaccess

It stop the process but the extension installation is not completed for me

@Mathieu sorry to hear,

did you manage to fix it? were you able to reinstall?

last week I had the maintenance flag still active, you might check it via SSH using: 

php bin/magento maintenance:status

 see if the maintenance is still active.

I didn't find the solution, maybe the trouble is related to some tweak
I had to do during the installation like overpassing the memory
requirements that Magento did't see my local memory limit. I see no
error log on the server.

Because of this issue I gave up the migration project (for now.)
