• After plowing through many forum posts I found a resolution to the Server 500 Error I was getting after upgrading to WordPress 3.03.

    My client uses Aruba Hosting and for some reason the updated caused this error but it was easily resolved with some CHMOD (File permissions editing via ftp):

    1. Add this line of code anywhere in your wp-config file

    define('FS_CHMOD_FILE',0755);
    define('FS_CHMOD_DIR',0755);

    2. Via ftp (I use the Fire FTP addon for firefox) Select all files and folders and change the permissions to 0755.

    This worked.
