Hello all, after trying the automatic upgrade with failed, I manually upgraded from 2.9.2 to 3.0.
All plugins are disabled but when I go to wp-admin I get "Database Upgrade Required" Clicking on the "Upgrade WordPress Database" button results in a 500 Internal Server Error
This site is running on a dedicated host. Any ideas?
There are nearly 10,000 posts in the database and which all appear to be viewable - without the plugins obviously

Additional information:
The url which fails is http://www.welshicons.org.uk/news/wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=1&backto=%2Fnews%2Fwp-admin%2F
I've stripped the .htaccess file down to:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I'm now getting really desperate as I need to add more content. All ideas welcome

Delete wp-admin and wp-includes folders.
Download a FRESH copy of wordpress's latezt.zip
Copy the whole thing up.
See if that helps.

@Ipstenu - thanks but I've tried that to no avail

Oh, I'm an idiot! I saw this yesterday too!
Create a file called “php.ini” in the /wp-admin/ directory of your blog
In the file add the text “memory = 20MB” without the quotes

Thanks again but it was one of the first things I tried and didn't work

OK, I'm getting really desperate now. I have deleted everything. Downloaded WordPress 3.0 again, uploaded it and let it create a new wp-config file.
It then wants to upgrade the database, tries to do it for about 60 seconds and then gives a 500 error

It must have been some strange caching issue as I tried again 12 hours later and it is now working

When I press Upgrade, I get "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted..."
Any ideas?
