 * Here’s what happens : I wanted to upgrade from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 (not really necessary
   but…).
 * The upgrade script went fine.
 * I still have access to the admin interface but the main page of my blog now generates
   an error 500 – internal server error.
 * This is a server with available mod_rewrite, the permissions are fine, I’ve tried
   to run the upgrade script again in short I’ve checked everything related to internal
   server errors in this forum and nothing worked.
 * Any help out there ?

 * And internal server error is something that happens internally in the server.
   Which means, the actual error is stored in your server error log. Knowing that
   error would be very helpful.
 * Other than that, you may want to try renaming your .htaccess file (thus disabling
   it).

 * The problem is over. I choosed to napalm the sql tables and do an install instead
   of an upgrade. This means that I don’t know what’s teh cause of the problem…
