Upgrading Vanilla 2.1 to Vanilla 2.3

Hello all
I have to do a vanilla 2.1 upgrade to version 2.3.

I'm testing it in localhost

I made a backup of my database online, the size is 7GB
When I try to import it locally using "phpmyadmin" or "HeidiSQL" it get stuck and does not go forward, I have to change the "Alert table ENABLE keys" to "DISABLE", and I have to carry out the import via mysql in terminal, otherwise I can not import it in no ' other way.

After importing the database, following the official guide, i set the theme to default and disable plugins, delete cache and save config.php, then i override the vanilla files 2.1 with those of vanilla 2.3 and launch ../utility/update. After a few hours crashes, if i stop and re-launch the utility/update, the update ends "successfully".

The forum now in localhost seems to work pretty good but it is extremly slow, especially when I write a comment, It can also take a minute or more for a single comment. (My official online version2.1 is really fast)

Localhost info:
Server Type: MariaDB
Apache / 2.4.23 (Win32) OpenSSL / 1.0.2h PHP / 5.6.28
PHP extension: mysqli
PHP Version: 5.6.28

Before i make an update on the online Vanilla, I want to understand what these problems are due, you have any idea?

Thank you.

    The problem is you're recreating the database keys which can take a very long time. I'd compare your keys between production and localhost to make sure your localhost has created all its keys successfully. That's a huge performance drag otherwise.

    I'm unsure how long it will take your localhost to finish rebuilding the keys or how to check its progress off the top of my head.

  • there is no need for mysqli, you might as well use php7.

    As to whether MariaDB is faster the MySQL this depends on a lot of things can go either way. I'm not sure the extent of MariaDB testing by the vanilla team. It might not be a good option.

    Perconca can faster be for sure. it automatically uses XtraDB even when the engine is InnoDB.

    grep is your friend.
