upgraded to 3.8 but still saying it is 3.7.3?

[paramom]

Ok so I did the upgrade actually did it twice and my admin CP say that I am still running 3.7.3 patch 1.

It is not allowing me to upgrade my blog. What did I do wrong? I did not get any error messages during the upgrade and I followed the manual, My forum is still up and running but as I said it is not showing that the upgrade was done.

HELP?

Make sure you completed the upgrade. Make sure you:

1) Uploaded all of the new files, overwriting the old files. The images directory is optional.

One common problem is that people will upload the files to the wrong place. You need to make sure you overwrite the existing files on the server.

2) Ran the "install/upgrade.php" script in your browser.

The most likely cause of this error is that the info in your config.php file is wrong or your db user does not have full permissions to this database. Please read this for all the known causes of this error:
