manual upgrade to 2.6.2 creates loop, bypassing dashboard (1 post)

    Had to run a manual upgrade of WP from 2.5.2 to 2.6.2. Followed the steps and upgraded the database through the /wp-admin/ directory. Was successful and I was shunted to the dashboard.

    On return after logout, I went to the wp-login page, entered userid and passwd, and was sent to a page that told me I didn't have to upgrade. When I pressed OK, I was sent to the website itself, rather than the dashboard.

    Here's the trail: http://john-maher.com/practicalchange/wp-login.php
    takes me to http://practicalchange.john-maher.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fpracticalchange%2Fwp-admin%2F. A repeatable error.

    Currently I can't figure out a way to get to the dashboard. I deleted the cookies in FireFox, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
