 * Hi! I got this message after I updated wordpress to the latest.
 * Server error
    The website encountered an error while retrieving [http://drjacob.se/wp-admin/comment.php?action=spam&c=17](http://drjacob.se/wp-admin/comment.php?action=spam&c=17).
   It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly. Here are some suggestions:
   Reload this webpage later. HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected
   condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
 * What happened and how can I access my website again?
 * Yours sincerely
    / Jacob

 * There are two options to resolve this issue.
 * 1. Reinstall WordPress completely. That usually resolves the issue as some file
   might have been mangled in the transfer and upload.
 * 2. Contact your web host for help as something unassociated with WordPress may
   be causing problems.
 * Usually it’s the first option. Give that a try.

 * [@edfurniss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edfurniss/): Did you update 
   WordPress recently? Did you try the options mentioned? Did they work?

 * I did click on the update link but I’m only trying to access the control panel
   through my browser. I cant type in my username and password and then I get a 
   blank page. It did briefly say that the wordpress was updating its servers (i
   think) but now its just a blank page. Really frustrating!
    I’ve tried clearing
   cookies and cache and tried in firefox (im using safari) I’ve deleated my wordpress
   folder and downloaded it again from scratch but I can’t see how this would affect
   as I’m not trying to use the sofware! thanks
