[Forum] Database error during upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.8

[RC Nitro]

I've attempted an upgrade to 4.0.8 and followed the instructions as well as I could understand it, and I'm now getting a database error.

The steps I've taken so far is to download the newest version, remove the install.php file, rename the config file, and upload the new files to the server. That's the point where I got the database error.

Here's the error message i received when attempting to access the vbulletin page with the upgrade instructions:

Database error in vBulletin :

Assuming the db info in your config.php file is correct, this is a server issue. Please see this page for the causes of this error:
