   I saw one thread on this issue, but no resolution.

   Early yesterday my dashboard went blank save for one line saying an upgrade was needed. I upgraded to 2.3. Now the dashboard has a more elaborate message saying -

   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   Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.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.
   Upgrade WordPress »

   The "Upgrade WordPress" link goes to either a blank page (Explorer) or it opens an empty upgrade.php file (Mozilla).

   Can anyone confirm whether this is a WordPress-related issue, or maybe something to do with my server? I do not have access to the server and have to work through an IT department.

   Additionally -

   - I tried reinstalling the old WordPress version, which then repeated the one-line warning. I upgraded again, only to return to the more elaborate warning

   - I deleted most all WP files on the server, then replaced them. Nothing.

   - I deleted the plugins (since no dashboard, I could never disable them). Nothing.

   Thanks.

   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!
