 * Ok so im trying to upgrade and i get to the point where i have to input my Server
   database info (SQL)
 * I input it all CORRECT(i think) and i get this annoying message.

 * Open phpMyAdmin in cPanel to verify that the database server is running and to
   check the database name and user name (compare with the settings in `wp-config.
   php`).
