Error 500 when goto admin panel after 2.8 failed update

  • Hi there,

    During the 2.8 update I got a server 500 time out error. After this i got the message “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute”.

    After that one, I removed the .maintenance file using ftp.

    And now, after i logon to my site (www.msuc.nl) I get a white page with a 500 error.. How do I get back in my admin panel?

    I have just setup this site 2 weeks ago and only used like 2 plugins.. I hope somebody will be able to help me because I was also stupid enough not to make a backup, didnt think it could go wrong………..

    I have the same problem after i upgrad to 2.8
    i cant login to my admin

    this is what i get:

    PHP Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(D:\domains\myusername\mysite.com\wwwroot/wp-content/plugins/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag) is not within the allowed path(s): (D:\Domains\;C:\windows\temp\;) in D:\domains\myusername\mysite.com\wwwroot\wp-admin\menu-header.php on line 118

    someone can help with this?

    I had the exact same problem, and I fixed it. It was the plugins. One of them was not compatible with WP 2.8.

    VERY IMPORTANT: before you do a manual update on your site, you MUST deactivate ALL plugins. Then, turn them back on one at a time and refresh your site until it breaks. That will lead you to the plugin that’s causing the internal server error. What a pain ??

    This plugin was the one that was causing the error for me:

    Hope this helps someone with the same issue.

    Well my problem is still here… I have disabled all the plugins…

    Is there any way possible to get good support on this product besides this forum?

    I just upgraded to 2.8.6 and now I too cannot get into wp-admin.
    I have copied all files via FTP twice, Double checked wp-config and I’m still getting error 500 below:

    Error 500 – Internal server error
    An internal server error has occured!
    Please try again later.

    The site still works fine but just can’t get to wp-admin.
    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    upgrading to 2.8.5 fixed my problem.. if that helps anyone.

    I had the exact same problem. Look at https://www.opsou.com/blog/2010/01/15/error-500-en-wp-admin/. I changed the access to those folder as they say and it worked.

    I had the same problem. I removed the akismet plugin and it solved my problems.
