Am constantly being prompted to update VM administrator part, from VM3.4.1 to the latest version of VM3.4.2, am currently running on J3.8.13, i however tried upgrading Joomla 3.9.0, with no success, am getting error 500 in the backend, with blank website, my database is also warning, some issue with column session, session_id is got wrong attributes for varbinary (192), but am seeing VARCHAR (191)in this role, so maybe u can educated me on this

you need to find this error and fix - see Faqs WSOD

I have noticed that the J3.9 update takes significantly longer than previous ones and I had to raise the server timeout limit on some of my accounts

Okay, i have increased it from 30sec to 360sec, is this sufficient? i got the error 500, when i tried twice upgrading to J3.9.0, i have since reverted to J3.8.13, a backup, now my Joomla global configuration panel is not working, and getting prompted to fix my database, something to do with wrong attribute with session column, session_id, Varbinary (192), i have not tried upgrading since, trying to fix the database issue first, appreciate your input

Don't understand your comment, i did mention that i run a J3.8.13 with VM 3.4.2, problem is continuous  update prompt for administrator component VM3.4.1, despite upload of VM 3.4.2 aio, still getting this, should i uninstall this VM 3.4.1 in extension, or is this a script issue

if your Joomla won't update either why do u not think u have a general server permissions or config problem?

how is this helpful? obviously there is something wrong somewhere, so how do i check for this? the server permission issue, you might be right about the configuration, cos my other Joomla site upgrated successfully, with VM 3.4.2 component, on same server, u reckon it might be in VM config? some dude sent me a private message claiming to have a fix, for a fee, probably a bug in the script, meanwhile i will get in touch with my server,

GJC Web Design

It is helpful because IMHO there is a general problem on your server concerning updating

if u say Joomla and VM will not update then this points obviously not to a VM problem but a general server/Joomla problem
