    That doesn’t make sense–are you installing a new blog or upgrading from 2.8.3?

    upgrading

    old version is 2.1

    what makes no sense?

    The “im installing version 2.8.3” was confusing.

    If you are UPGRADING from 2.1 to 2.8.3 review Upgrading WordPress Extended. Also might upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3, 2.3 to 2.5, 2.5 to 2.7, and 2.7 to 2.9.3. A database backup before starting is recommended. A backup of your files is recommended.

    i did everything on that page

    up till step 9.

    and at the end i get this

    same error:

    i load the upgrade.php url and then a button that says upgrade your database appear,

    i click it and i get this error, its long, i only put the first 2 lines

    WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key 1]
    INSERT INTO wp_terms (term_id, name, slug, term_group) VALUES (1, ‘Uncategorized’, ‘uncategorized-2’, 1)

    WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1-category’ for key 2]
    INSERT INTO wp_term_taxonomy (term_id, taxonomy, description, parent, count) VALUES ( 1, ‘category’, ”, 0, 12)

    the end of the page says this message:

    Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/username/www.mydomainname.com/docs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 137

    i can browse the site, but when i try to login to admin, it goes to the same page:
