From my notes, and a bit as a funny as our cat is named Pip.

Something spoopy was going on in my database. All was working fine, but it kept spewing out the following error:
Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably corrupted
So this was fixed by going into the database terminal and entering:
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Make sure you have the root/privileged password ready. Depending on how many databases you have and how large they are; it can take a bit of time. Have patience.
Before some proc_get_status() error occurs:
Go here:
INVOICENINJAFOLDER/vendor/symfony/process/Process.php
Find:
$this->processInformation = proc_get_status($this->process);
Do: Comment it out
Do: Start upgrade
Done.
