Error Upgrading from 3.0.3 to 3.6.0

I get the following error when I try to access the upgrade script.
Database error in vBulletin :

Invalid SQL:

SELECT *
FROM datastore
WHERE title IN ('','options','bitfields','attachmentcache','forum cache','usergroupcache','stylecache','languagecach e','products','pluginlist','cron','profilefield');

MySQL Error : Table 'o3d.datastore' doesn't exist

Okay, I discovered that I had a special table prefix for my vB tables on the database, I edited that I was able to run the upgrade script, however, I faced another problem. When I started the upgrade process, it tells me that I'm updating to version 3.0.4 and then .7 and then .8 and loops between .7 and .8 from there. I tried manually calling the finalupgrade.php script and I got a database error. I restored my database and tried again, but it did not work.

It should go from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 and on in that row.
If it's not continuing then you're most likely skipping steps.

I am not sure what the problem is, but it just keeps on looping between 6 and 7 now. It gives me the message that says "Your vBulletin version does not appear to match with the version for which this script was created (version 3.0.6).", I am not skipping any steps. I tried restoring my DB a couple of times and this keeps on happening, could it be a caching problem with my browser or something?

[Colin F]

That's possible. Try using a different browser/computer.

Okay, I got it to work, but I had to reload the upgrade.php using a random prefix such as ?random=123 each time I finished each upgrade, I tried different computers and browsers and had the same problem, but that solution made it work.
