I ran the 5.5.1 upgrade it took forever then it came up with this error

Upgrading DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 05.05.01

Current Database Version: 05.04.04



Upgrade Status Report

00:00:01.078 - Upgrading to Version: 05.05.01
00:00:03.890 -   Executing Script: 05.05.00.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 05.05.00.log.resources for more information)









Server Error in '/' Application. 




A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) 

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 



Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)



Source Error: 





    
        

            The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

            

            1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

            

              <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

            

            or:

            

            2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

            

            <configuration>

               <system.web>

                   <compilation debug="true"/>

               </system.web>

            </configuration>

            

            Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

            

            Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

											There seems an issue accessing the database, most likely due to an inappropriate connection string - make sure, not touching web.config file for upgrades.
