I recently upgraded to WP 3.0.1, and have implemented a StudioPress Genesis Theme. I had used the NextGen Gallery plugin, and realised that it was offering an update.
I applied the update, and then returned to the admin page, where it prompted me to upgrade the Database. I followed the automatic upgrade option, and then reloaded the pluggin page only to be greated by an Error500 page, and a simillar error for any and all the pages I tried to access either in the admin or the actual website.
I then quarantined the plugin folder by renaming and creating a new empty plug ins folder, which has given me access back to the admin side, and the website is now viewable.
However I still get Error500 pages when I try to reactivate plugins in the new plugins folder and also on the edit post page.
I have tried to restore the database from a back up I took last night, however I still get the same issues with the same Error500.
I have googled the obvious as well as the support forums, and see nothing that I can do. I have also tried to track down my SQL log files, but I don't know where they live.

Any thoughts? Please?
Thanks in advance.
