I'm obviously doing something wrong. I'm trying to upgrade a clean 2.3.3 version to 2.5 and getting the following message when upgrading the DB with ../wp-admin/upgrade.php.
"Database Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.
The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient."
The only file I saved from the 2.3.3 install is the wp-config.php which has the login/pw to the DB. I've gone thru the process many times and end up here each time. What is the above symptom indicative of?
thanks

I fixed this problem by going into /wp-admin/admin.php file and removing the if statement that looks for the database version. Not sure if this is a good fix or not. But I did it only after it had run the database version upgrade and the new version is posted in the options table.

Hi,
I'm having a similar issue also.
I've received the same message (Database Upgrade Required) once, but after clicking on it and waited a few seconds, it tolds me the database upgrade went ok.
But now all the pages in my blog are blank like this: http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bioinfoblogblankwz4.png and the same is for the administrative panel.

Sorry, it seems mine was a problem of filezilla. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/filezilla/+bug/221180 . It is not wordpress's fault :)
By the way, I had upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.5 and didn't have problems with the database update, please tell me if I can be of any help in testing problems.

I've just updated to WP 2.5.1 and got this same error message.
It wasn't obvious to me that I just had to click on Upgrade WordPress because I didn't realise it was a link. Doh!
Fortunately, all seems to be well now. Fingers crossed.

I just had the same problem going from 2.5 to 2.51 - again just on this one site - hosted at mosso on a php5 cluster - with ssl turned on in the cluster.
this time though it just chose to show white pages. i'll try it again.
Thank you, gioby83. I guess I have company in not intuitively knowing to click. Life is good again.
Thank you.

hi. i got the same error.
what i did was open the upgrade.php file (located in the wp-admin folder) and then replace all 'url' with my own URL (e.g. 'http://bloggerhappy.com')
then refresh the http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php
it solved my problem, the installation was done in a jiffy after that.
hope this solves yours too. good luck!
