Note: I have never had any permissions problems on my server, and I didn’t change any permissions before upgrading WordPress.
I did deactivate all plugins before upgrading, so that shouldn’t be the problem either.
Permissions on files are 644 and 755 on directories.
BTW, I found this code in my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Does anyone know what it is?
Please, can anyone help me with this? My blog has been down for a few hours right now and I’d really love to get it back up.
I’ve called my host (1and1) twice and they are no help.
what is the url to your blog, please?
nevermind, I found it.
lets look around:
the wp-admin directory is there.
the wp-admin/includes/ dir is there
the wp-includes/ dir is there
http://thehealthyskeptic.org/index.php
your index.php is throwing a 500 error. what do your error logs say?
http://thehealthyskeptic.org/wp-login.php
go login, and change to the default theme.
Thanks so much for your reply. I was able to login using the link you provided, but when I attempt to change to the default theme, I get a 403 error once again.
Where do I look in the error logs?
are you on the linux plan?
since they apparently dont allow access to them, you will need to do this, I guess:
http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/8.html
OK, I feel really, really dumb. Somehow when I copied over the new files I managed to miss the index.php in the main directory. That was the problem. Thanks anyways for your help!
