   I tried to upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.7.1 and got a 500 internal server error.

   The link to my blog is http://bibeauline.com

   the .htaccess log/pass is friends/welcome

   Thanks.

   Can anyone give me suggestions on where to start? My blog was working great. I used the default theme and never added or changed anything. I decided to update to see what the new version would be like... I'm still hopeful I only have a small problem and will soon realize 2.7.1.

   Okay. Here is some of my progress. I read some of the other related threads. And tried two things.

   1)I renamed my plugin folder. Even though I am 99% I never added a plugin I did this just in case I had added one by accident???

   RESULT>> No Change.

   2)I renamed my .htaccess file.

   RESULT>> Now I get a 404 Error - Not found.

   What a refreshing thing to get a new error. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated.

   Upon further research of past threads I am suspicious of my permalinks not being compatable with my .htaccess file... But, I'm not sure what I need to do. I can't even getto the dashboard. My upgrade is still not complete yet.

   I contacted my server and the problem is resolved.

   There is a cgi-bin folder in my domain folder which I deleted by mistake when I deleted all the old wordpress folders.

   My server replaced the file and everything is okay now!
