RC2 to RC3 upgrade problem

[hokawai]

Hi,

I am try to upgrade the RC2 to RC3.

1) Copy the RC3 files to the RC2 directory (with backup)
2) ran the to_rc3.php
3) got the following errors below, do you have any hint? My RC2 is working and the mySQL is running.


Error message
======================================
Unable to connect to the photo database server at this time
PLEASE PRESS REFRESH ON YOUR BROWSER TO TRY AGAIN.

PAGE: to_rc3.php

Why do you get this error? Maybe because:

The database server has not been activated for you domain
your username/password is wrong.
The database server in offline for some reason.

If you get this error, contact your server administrator and check if MySQL is indeed running on your server. This error message can also mean that the MySQL server is overloaded - can easily happen in shared hosting where 250 sites fight for one CPU and same system resources or there are just too many visitors for the server to handle.
============================================

You most probably overwrote your connect.php and/or preferences.php files.

PS: read through the installations/upgrade instructions
