Eternal "Database Update Required" loop

    I upgraded WordPress to 4.1.1 through the dashboard. Everything went smoothly until I reached the “Database Update Required” window.

    Database Update Required

    WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update your database to the newest version.

    The update process may take a little while, so please be patient.

    Now I am stuck in this eternal loop of not being able to get past it. The front end of the site (innercircleshow.org) works perfectly, I just can’t reach my dashboard.

    Any ideas?

    Fixing your database will depend upon what you find below.

    Which version of WordPress were you previously running ?
    Do your error logs show what the error is ?
    Especially the SQL database logs.

    This webpage gives the relevant database versions, it shows no changes between 4.1 and 4.1.1
    The most recent change is:
    "ALTER TABLE $wpdb->terms DROP INDEX slug"
    The change prior to this was:
    update_option( 'WPLANG', WPLANG );

    First establish which database version you are running, to do this use your phpmyadmin program to examine your “options” table, look for key “db_version”, the most recent version is 30133, which version do you report ?
    Also check if you have an option for “WPLANG”
