From what version did you upgrade? What is the exact db error that you are getting?
4-0-2 Patch Level 4 UPGRADED TO 4-0-3 Patch Level 1
So when I fixed (changed name) the config.php and went to log in to go thru the upgrade steps on:
/forums/install/upgrade.php (in my case)
It comes up with page that says:
Database error The database has encountered a problem.
Database error in vBulletin :
mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
/hometwo/musle6d6/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 312

It seems like somehow you changed something at the db details. Make sure that you got the right db info at the config.php file and run the upgrader once more seeing the fact that you stopped midway.
you will need to edit you config.php file and add in your database information...
specifically these values:
$config['Database']['dbname'] This value should be altered to state the name of the database that will contain your vBulletin installation on the database server.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] This variable contains the username provided to you by your host for connecting to your database server.
$config['MasterServer']['password'] The password that accompanies the database username should be entered here.
here's the vbulletin manual for editing the config.php file
Can you please teall us how exactly what did you change at the config.php file? Did you change some code, did you rename the file, did you overite it with with a new file, what? We need to know what exactly you did in order to be able to help you further.
There is also a huge error note below that which is just so much script its too much to put here:
At the end of all the scripting it says thes:
MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away
Error Number : 2006
