hmm, this looks like moodle thinks you are not admin.
Did you open close/open before upgrade?
Did moodle ask you to log in before upgradesettings?
Which PHP version?
Can you login using admin account after this error happens?

Yeah, its auto-logging me in as a guest.

It doesn't ask me to login before upgrade settings, the upgrade continues fine (aside from upgradesettings) and I can login afterwards.

I think I know what is wrong, going to disable guest autologin in admin scripts

This issue is not fixed - after a LOT of wasted effort rehearsing an upgrade with a large school (from 1.7.1 to a branch from latest MOODLE_19_STABLE), it turns out I had to turn off autologinguests to get the upgrade to succeed.

Symptoms were the same as in the description above.

Hmm, if autologins are enabled you have to go to http://yoursite/admin/ directly, how exactly did you trigger the upgrade?
