It seems your site is working now…
We WordPress 3.1-alpha, updated to 3.0.2 and did not display any error but no longer open the site in any form. 🙁
My website: http://yo9fah.net/ … I had to return to your previous version: 3.1-alpha. 🙁
pcgrejaldo, the visitor site is working, it is the admin area that is inaccessible.
For anyone else having trouble with something like this: the suggestion came from a friend (http://www.stefamedia.ro/)!
How we did:
– I disabled all plug-ins;
– I updated WordPress;
– I reactivated the plugins.
Enjoy Yourself ! 😀
This may well work, but I can’t get into the Admin area to do it.
I see… FTP to your WP installation go to wp-content folder and rename your current plugins folder to something else (e.g. plugins.old), then create a new folder and rename it to plugins. Try to check if you can access your admin area. If you have access, restore your old plugins folder and activate your plugins 1 by 1 and check which is having an issue or you may want to update your WP if it’s not the latest.
If this doesn’t work out, backup your database and files especially your wp-config.php file and reinstall WordPress.
Thank you!
That worked, finally. I really appreciate your help!
Of course, now I tried to update the theme automatically, and now it’s locked in maintenance mode (20 minutes so far). It says the update failed, then automatically tries to do it again. How do I get it out of maintenance mode?
Ready now updated source here is proof of your page:
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 3.0.2″ />

FTP to your root folder or where you installed WP and look for .maintenance file and delete it.
@pcgrejaldo
Thanks. I didn’t see any .maintenance file, but WP did finally come out of maintenance mode, so I updated the theme manually. The only remaining issues now are:
1: some of the pages’ edit pages are still giving me the message:
“Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.”
It is only some of the pages, though.
2: I have a persistent notice at the top of the admin pages:
“An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now.”
Any thoughts?
Again, I really appreciate all your help. Everything you’ve suggested so far has made improvements, so we’re getting there, just not there yet.
May have been wrong permissions on FTP server!
Good luck.
1: It seems it’s either a host or .htaccess directives issue. Try updating permalinks to default and check if it still errors. If not, try to change back to the permalink structure that you want.
2: This is from http://codex.wordpress.org/Dashboard_Updates_SubPanel
Problem
After doing the upgrade, and received WordPress upgraded successfully message, but the following message still displays:
An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now.
Solution
Delete the .maintenance file found in the WordPress root/base folder, the do the Upgrade again.
Which means .maintenance file exists in your WordPress folder. Connecting to your root folder should show hidden files (dotfiles) like .htaccess. In case you’re doing it from cpanel, make sure Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) checkbox is checked.
