   its seems that the info is wrong. When I am in my wordpress, its asking me to upgrade to 2.8.. and I click it, then it give me 2 selection, automatic install and manual install. I click automatic and it ask me for information; the hostname, username, and password. I am stuck and dont know what I am doing wrong

   You need to enter the exact ftp access credentials as provided to you by your host. You might want to check with them if what you have isn't working.
