I’ve recently installed multisite on a 2GB RAM DO droplet with 6 sites. I think I should probably use a higher RAM option and yet since all forums will be really small for the start, was hoping I could start cheap.

Regardless, when I go to upgrade from the admin page of any of the forums, including the main/default forum, when I click on the blue upgrade button, the button turns to gray and says “Upgrading…” but then I don’t see anything appear in the black terminal box below, as I would normally see on my single-site installations.

It has been at least 10-15 minutes now and I still don’t see anything and am unsure if it’s making any progress.

- Any idea why this might be happening?
- Am I able to upgrade from any of the forums’ UIs?
- If not, do I have to upgrade the multisite from the command line?

Edit: I reset the upgrade, waited a bit, refreshed the page, and tried to upgrade the Discourse Assign plugin and then info showed in the box that I didn’t have enough unicorn workers, I think from the previous upgrade. I clicked upgrade for that plugin and it worked, so I’m assuming the problem was that I just don’t have enough RAM, as per this [How to avoid upstream timeouts? - #2 by mpalmer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-avoid-upstream-timeouts/35483/2)
