Try re-uploading the files, some may not have uploaded correctly. Try emptying the plugins folder of old plugins. Check your database to see if any are stuck as "in use" or busy and if so run the repair tool from phpmyadmin.

hi there,

tried re-uploading all the files, repairing my database through myphpadmin, deleted all my plugins... still same result.
i had no problem updating from 1.4.24 to 1.4.27. i've tried to upgrade to 1.5 now 5 times without success. any other ideas i could explore to solve this issue?

Contact your host giving them the exact time of the error and ask for the server logs relating to the error. That will give you more information to go on.

Check if your MySQL user has permission to ALTER tables. If you don't know how, please read this post and that corresponding post.
