    Hi,

    I recently tried to upgrade a MU installation from 3.5.2 to 3.6 and at first it seemed to work ok. I got half of the 3.6 page.

    I then tried to run upgrade network but it still said to update to wp 3.6

    Tried it and now it would hang at Downloading WordPress from www.ads-software.com….. (I copied the download file refferenced on the DL screen and it was fine and well below my memory limit)

    Now the weird part: I can log in, all the sites and plugins work fine, but I cannot change any setting or add any pages or plugins. If I try that I get a 500 server error….

    I am running a dedicated server so I don’t have any memory limits.

    Any insight is greatly appreciated…

    Solution:
    I performed a manual install.

    • Deleted wp-admin and wp-includes
    • Uploaded the new ones from the 3.6 version I got off wordpres.org
    • Overwrote all files within the wordpress top directory
    • Logged in with SSH as root and removed a newline from the wp-config.php file

    I can’t believe that bastard of a newline almost made me purge my network… Well hope my experience can help someone else…
