  More of a "How do I debug stuck tasks" answer, but it should help you.
  
  Open up your craft\_tasks table. You'll see one task in with a 'status' of 'running' and if you refresh the table several times, the 'currentStep' value for that task is no longer incrementing. That's your stuck task.
  
  Set that task's status to 'pending', and reload any page in the control panel to re-trigger the task.
  
  If it gets stuck again, immediately go to your `craft/storage/runtime/logs` folder and check for a `phperrors.log` file. If that exists, it will likely hold the error message for why the task is hung.
  
  90% of the time, when a task gets stuck, it's because it has ran into some environmental limitation (PHP max\_execution\_time, memory\_limit, etc.).
