Version 8.1 Hangs up
Permalink
When installing 8.1 it gets to the "Adding Block Types" and just sits there with the "Installing" symbol going round and round. When I shut it down and opened the site again, I had to start again from scratch (which required me to delete the existing database and recreate an empty one). Any answers???
I really appreciate the response. i did as you said and this is the error I got: (I don't really know what to do about it or what it's saying other than there's a reference error).

I suspect what you report above may be a secondary javascript error reported in the console/log tab of the browser developer console, caused by a previous server error that may show up on the network tab of the developer console.
it seems the 504 gateway timeout during adding block types is a pretty common problem lately...
You could also look at your server error log and php error log. But I would try the above first. Unless you are very familiar with the server stuff, the browser developer console is a lot easier to get to grips with.
