500 Internal Error After Upgrade to 3.4.2

  • Hi all, upgraded to 3.4.2 today and am using themeforest Sterling theme. After the upgrade we are getting the 500 Internal Error screen on the site homepage, but the wp-admin side works fine. I have tried deactivating plugins, does nothing, tried using the default Twenty Eleven and Twetny Ten themes, nothing. Turned on error reporting, nothing. Increased max mem size, nothing, removed carriage returns, nothing.

    Any ideas?

    What really strikes me is that even the default themes won’t work. Even more odd is that the Admin side is working fine.

    Looking at the error_log : [Mon Oct 22 17:26:18 2012] [error] [client 216.182.254.146] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /var/www/honeytreeholdings.com/index.php on line 6

    From index.php:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Blog
    */
    ?>
    <?php get_header(); ?>

    It seems to be a theme-specific problem, contact Theme Forest, the vendor of the theme. We do not support commercial themes.
    As nothing is available even for scan tools (500 Internal Server Error), you may also contact your host for support.

    I think I have found this issue. It appears that the theme files have been copied over the root directory files. Therefore index.php from the theme has been written over the index.php from the wordpress install.

    Replace the index.php at the root with a fresh copy from a latest WP download and delete all theme files from the root.
