Upgrading via WP to 3.2.3 isn't working. Just keeps spinning. I have safeguards turned on, but the upgrade just never goes through - spins and spins. I'm on the rackspace cloud running WP 3.0.1. Never had this problem before

Hi there. Thanks for reporting this.

This sounds like a memory error. Your mention of "spinning" suggests that you're upgrading through the "Upgrades" panel in WordPress. Try upgrading through the Plugins menu instead, and you'll probably get a memory error ( or max execution error ) there, which will reveal the root cause of the issue.

= Why do I get memory errors during automatic upgrade? =
This depends on your hosting provider and/or server configuration. Some web hosting companies impose very low limits on the amount of memory available to WordPress® during the execution of a single script. Since s2Member is a larger plugin, WordPress® may exceed conservative limits set forth by shared hosting companies. Don't feel bad, it's a very common problem. The solution is to upgrade manually. Memory limits only affect the WordPress® auto-installation/upgrade routine, not the actual functionality of WordPress® or s2Member.

Upgrading manually:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=247

actually, it's not a memory error. This site is still in development so the memory limit is set to 512MB

Hi Jeromy. Thanks for reporting back.
What error are you receiving from the Plugins menu?
~ anything to go on?

I waiting about 10 minutes before giving up. I'll try and again and see if I can get an error

tried updating from the plugins page, just get this:

Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/s ... .3.2.3.zip…

Page stops loading and the footer panel of the admin doesn't even load

looks like it was a conflict with another plugin. Hasn't been a problem lately, sorry I didn't catch it sooner!

Thanks for reporting back Jeromy.
~ Much appreciated.

What plugin was causing that conflict?
