One of my test sites upgraded perfectly to 2.8, but one - a nearly identical installation, failed the database upgrade, returning a 500 Internal Server Error. Checking my error logs, I found "Premature end of script headers: php5".
I'm hosted on Media Temple. Anyone else having a similar issue? Is there a general reason / solution for this error?
delete the .htaccess in wordpress root
should bring site back up
reset permalinks
admin - settings - permalinks

I don't see an .htaccess in my root folder. Is it hidden?

yes it is hidden, you should set your FTP app to show invisible files.

Yes it could be hidden depending on what you using to look at it. See if there's an option to show hidden files.

Uhm... after deleting the .htaccess I lost the whole site so I copied and renamed htaccess.dist to .htaccess and that brought the site back.
I also had to change BASE/ to /
I am not sure if that fixed it or I also cleared my cache at the same time.
Going to test a little more.
