/wp-admin server dropped the connection (2 posts)

    Hello,
    My web hosting company recently updated Apache to 2.0.63 and I can't login to the dashboard. When I put my user name and password into /wp-login.php and click enter I get this:
    "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.roblyons.ca/blog/wp-admin/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again."
    Everything was working fine the day before and I haven't made any adjustments at all to anything. I was also hacked the day before the update, but I removed all the files and did a complete restore from a backup of both my database and wordpress files. I've tried manually disabling my theme and plugins also to no avail. My web hosting company is incompetent and is of no help, so if anyone here knows something I could try to fix this I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
    Cheers,
    Rob

    So at the request of my hosting company I set up a new database and installed a fresh copy of wordpress and I get the same error when I log in. Has nobody run into this issue before? Could it be due to an apache upgrade on the server? The rest of the site works fine, it is only when I try to access the dashboard or any of the files in the wp-admin folder that gives the "server unexpectedly dropped the connection" error.
