Hello,
I suspect either a memory issue, or another php problem. Logs are your friend. You can best have a look in your error logs and post them to this thread. Please only post the relevant errors.

Hi Bèr,
We have a very old Drupal (4.3.1) running some really valuable sites for the content management community (CMS-News.org, CMS-Forum.org) and are trying to upgrade in the recommended steps 4.3.1 > 4.4.2 > 4.5, etc.
We get a very odd result (a blank page) when we run the update.php script.
We backed everything up, added two new required fields to the database, then ran the update.php script for one of our sites (CMS-News).
The results of clicking on the cms-news.org/update.php?op=update (just once) was a blank page.
We also get a blank page when we request the updated site http://www.cms-news.org.
We then tried the same operations for the CMS Forum site. Just to check we were connecting properly, we requested http://cms-forum.org *before* we added the two new fields to its system table, and it came back (properly) with an error message saying "throttle" field was missing.
This told us that the new 4.4.2 code was running.
Any advice on how to get past this blank page? If we figure it out, we will add some notes on how to update to the drupal.org update discussion.
Thanks.

Only if you update from very old versions can you best first update to an intermediate version. From 5.3..x you can best first got to a 4.5 then onwards to 4.6.3
But updating from 4.6.1 to 4.6.3 can be done without steps inbetween.
I fail to see what all the fuzz is about.
