    I've got a really odd problem after a failed upgrade last night. I was upgrading to the newest version with the WordPress Auto Upgrade plugin. I have used that plugin in the past with the site without issue. Last night it completed the preliminary checks and reported all was ok, and then when I clicked to begin upgrade it threw me back to the index page. And now I can not get to any admin page. Clicking on the login link or trying to access any admin URL loads the normal index page. For example, if I click on the default log-in link on the theme it should load /blog/wp-login.php. What I get in the address window is /blog/wp-login.php/ and the main index page is loaded. Obviously, there is no directory named "wp-login.php".

    Stuff I tried so far...

    1. Complete upgrade via ftp. It made no difference
    2. I've checked for rogue .htaccess files that could be redirecting - don't see anything
    3. Checked wp-config.php - it looks fine.
    4. Checked dB options table for unusual entries - it all looks fine.
    5. Chekced theme directory - no files were changed yesterday.

    Any idea what has happened and how I can fix it? I'd rather not blow away the site and start over with a clean install.

    I'm having a similar issue.

    I uninstalled 2.5 and installed 2.6.2. Now I am unable to access my admin page/Dashboard. I can see the blog post, but nothing else.

    ..../wordpress/index.php -- shows blog post
    ..../wordpress/wp-admin -- blank screen

    from blog post, I can select "log in" which brings me to the WordPress login page
    ..../wordpress/wp-login.php

    this returns "ERROR: Invalid username."
