XF 1.5 Server error after uploading upgrade files. Please help!

[Tristan10]

I have just downloaded and uploaded the upgrade files. (Overwriting all contents) I am upgrading from 1.5.0 to 1.5.8 . Upon pointing my browser to the install directory I am greeted with this:

Server Error

Any suggestions?

I don't believe I've ever seen this error in relation to XF before.

Essentially the software is unable to connect to the MySQL server so you would have to contact your host and ask them to investigate.

Sorry, this seems to be a hosting issue and not a XenForo one. Just incredibly poor timing that it happened at the exact moment I try to update!
