Hi,
I've gone and reskinned the backend of wordpress to use it accross a couple of blogs, and was trying to add it to one of those blogs. I stupidly over-wrote the whole wp-admin folder for that site with my new wp-admin folder and now i cannot get any backend pages to work... all i get is a blank screen...
front end of the site is still fine and working.
any suggestions??
(i stupidly dont have a backup)
thanks
Just upload a fresh /wp-admin from today's zip

Hi,
Have tried that... no luck, same result.
have a look: http://www.mwarchitects.com.au/wp-admin/
could it have anything to do with any plugins installed?? i have a redirection and the all-in-1-seo pack installed...

Same boat as modelcitizen.
I tried renaming plugin folder and also tried deleting plugins suspected of being trouble. Tried restoring all files back to previous backup... Nothing.
http://j-geissler.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
says 'not found'-- on the server the file is there. so...??
FRUSTRATING!
Help!
@modelcitizen
you could temporarily rename the plugins folder and see if that helps
@patterntheory
try renaming the .htaccess temporarily
rename your nggallery folder temporarily - some folks have had this problem with that plugin - also the wp-db-backup plugin

I did the mentioned above-- also did as mentioned in codex:
Use phpMyAdmin
* In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row
* Change the option_value field to: a:0:{}
to disable plugins.
I now get this message:
Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17
Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17
which sounds like an upload problem? Tried reuploading no luck.
Ideas?

Heres a thought:
within the SQL database i see this:
Edit Delete 48 0 template defusion yes
Edit Delete 49 0 stylesheet defusion yes
Maybe i'm having a template conflict with the upgrade? If so, how do i get the template to change back to standard without access to admin panel? Change variable in the database here? To what exactly? default?

I think there might be an issue with the htaccess file too...
note that I have my wordpress in root/wordpress
i'm tempted to restore the database to last backup at this point.
If a fresh/clean upgrade didnt work, I'm not sure I understand.

I went in and deleted tables in wp_options from plugins I no longer had in my plug ins folder.
I then had to change file permissions for cron/admin etc
Now I can access control panel.
I may start from the beginning soon as I'm not comfortable I did everything properly... Who knows if I did any damage in the database tables
Know idea-- looks like the issue was a conflict with a plug in and/or database updating during the attempted upgrade.
I would say I'm staying away from auto upgrade and potentially NGG Gallery plugin (though I have no info so far as to whether this was the culprit)
Sorry folks.
This was insane.

yep - i've tried renaming the plugins folder no-luck.
also tried re-naming the .htaccess file, or stripping it out. no luck!
should i try a completely new install? I could copy database through PHPmyAdmin and copy it to a different server and try a fresh install??
lotsa work though!
