I was having huge problems with the admin page. They where taking +60 secs to load. That makes it very hard to get any work done.

I have figured out what the problem was. It appears that the "Update Status" module will check for updates on every page load. Well, mine was failing for some reason (still have no idea on that one). Once I disabled the "Update Status" module, the pages load as I would expect them to.

This may be out there somewhere. It just wasn't obvious from my searches.

Hope this helps!

just an fyi-- i had trouble with the update status module once. It ended up that something needs to be specified in the host configuration in order for the module to function. It was a shared hosting account, and they refused to do what they needed to do siting "security hole". Needless to say I switched hosts (that wasn't the only reason). I've never had a problem with it on any other host since.

Alright, I was experiencing the long load times for admin/ type pages, and when i disabled status_update module, that problem stopped.

My question is, if the updater was the issue, how can i update / patch the updater with it off line?
Can i still preform updates in off-line mode like they suggested?

The site in question is a corporate site, and cannot be down for long.
With Update module active, it takes a long time to work, meaning down time, and a hit to sales.

go to admin.available updates and 'check manually' (or via modules listing page) - that will work, right?

thanks for this info!

BTW - came back to update: just posted a feature request in update status advanced: http://drupal.org/node/326680

This solved my problem, too, but I also am wondering how to make update-status module work properly.

That solved the problem for me too. Although, when my laptop was offline before I didn't have those time out problems. Here's the query to hack your system without admin pages :)

select * from {system} where filename like '%update%'
update {system} set status=0 where filename='modules/update/update.module'
