 * I just downloaded the new WordPress, I installed it on one of my blogs and all
   went well. THen I did it on my very important blog, and all went kaflooey. I 
   uploaded all the files, and then went to the upgrade page ([http://blog.collectedsounds.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php](http://blog.collectedsounds.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php))
   it said to click Continue to upgrade, which I did, then it said again to click
   Continue and I did and I got the 500 Server Error message. I can’t get to any
   portion of the blog.
    I have already tried deleting all the plug ins from my 
   server and that did nothing. Help!!!

 * Did you deactivate the plugins before doing the upgrade?

 * I sent a support ticket to my mucho fabulous web host and they fixed it. Here’s
   what htey said:
 * The upgrade script of WordPress has appended some lines to your .htaccess file
   and interfered with the correct syntax of the last rewrite directive that you
   have there.
 * We have simply added an extra line to separate your original .htaccess contents
   from the two commented lines added by the WordPress upgrade script.
 * Everything is working fine now.
 * –aren’t they great?! I thought I’d post this in case anyone else has the same
   issue.
