 * Hi
 * Since WP codex recommends to include “upgrade.php” to execute wpdb’s dbDelta(),
   I have chosen not to rename or remove the file. When I change the permission 
   as suggested no difference:
 * “…Check if install.php file is accessible via HTTP on the default location. ✓
   
   Check if upgrade.php file is accessible via HTTP on the default location…”
 * I renamed “install.php”, and that get a tick. Also I changed permissions for 
   each file (600), but “upgrade.php” still fails. I think you simply forgot to 
   check permissions, otherwise please specify the permissions.
