 * I found a temporary fix! I am not sure how dangerous this is for the blog, but
   it is the ONLY solution I have found so far, and it works.
 * What I did was go into phpMyAdmin and locate wp_options and find db_version. 
   I then changed my db_version value to 21707 from 21115. I am not sure if my database
   is actually updated by doing this, but wordpress seems to think so and it seems
   to be working fine as of now. If anything breaks I will update this post.
 * I hope this helps people having the same problem!

 * Here is a link to every db_version value

 * Hello esmi, I was expecting you to post EXACTLY this! And guess what? I was right!
 * > – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   > inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   > FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
   > – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
   > – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a 
   > fresh download of WordPress.
   > – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
 * If you read what I wrote above, you would see that I have already performed these
   steps. Would you please stop copy and pasting this same solution to EVERY problem
   someone has? PLEASE STOP COPY AND PASTING THIS.
 * Can someone please provide some **genuine** help?
 * Here is my site [radiorebel.net](http://www.radiorebel.net) – here is the admin
   login page that keeps redirecting me to database update, which fails everytime.

 * Ok so I tried what jeffpurecell suggested and that did not work either. I set
   my php.ini file to have a memory limit of 99M (the max that media temple will
   allow) and also set wordpress to debug mode. No errors 🙁

 * I am having this same problem!
 * I have been trying everything I can think of. I have tried deleting the upgrade.
   php file which results in a ‘page not found’ error. I have increased my php limit
   from 20 to 90, I have cleared my cache and such, different browsers, I have tried
   waiting. Nothing seems to be working. Are there any more solutions?
