   Hey Guy's,
   I am attempting to upgrade from 2.8.5 to the latest version. I click on the "WordPress 2.8.6 is available! Please update now." url, but nothing happens. The activity screen simply goes blank.

   any ideas?

   I am unable to even install new plugins...The screen just stops at downloading install packages.

   Try adding AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to the top of the .htaccess file in your WP root folder.

   esmi,
   Here is the message that I get after following these instructions:

   Internal Server Error
   The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

   Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

   More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

   Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

   Did you mean to have the space after the php5?

   Sorry esmi,
   I redid the .htaccess file with the exact command that you gave me (space included) and everything worked perfectly.

   Can you explain to me what this command does and why the space?

   Sorry - I should have specified that it needs to be on a line by itself. It's a command that forces the server to parse .php files using PHP5 instead of PHP4. Commonly need on 1&1 hosted sites.
