    I have now contacted my hosting provider and they have done some research and fixed the problem!

    It turns out that WordPress version 3 has an ini_set in admin.php which
    tries to change the php memory allocation on the fly, and suhosin doesn’t
    allow this for security reasons.

    See their comments below:

    We finally located the following error:

    [Thu Dec 23 23:00:26 2010] [error] [client ip address goes here] /usr/bin/php:
    symbol lookup error:
    /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/suhosin.so:
    undefined symbol: zend_atol

    Obscure !

    But the clue was in “suhosin.so”

    It turns out that WordPress version 3 has an ini_set in admin.php which
    tries to change the php memory allocation on the fly, and suhosin doesn’t
    allow this for security reasons…

    We found the fix which was to add “ini_set” to the Safe Mode
    disable_functions in php.ini

    No I haven’t because they are running the latest php and MySQL and WordPress runs up to versions 2.9.2 but versions 3 and above don’t work!

    Thanks, I read it and tried everything but still get the 500 internal server error. Error log reads “wp-login.php file not found” but it is there on the FTP.

    I tried something else… I took version 3.0.3 but took out the files:

    wp-login.php
    wp-config.php
    wp-content folder (with the themes and plugins)

    and replaced them with the 2.0.9 version but I STILL get the 500 internal server error

    There is defintely something wrong with versions 3 and up

    ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY IDEAS PLEASE!!!!!

    Hi, I have already loaded version 3.0.3

    Firstly I went into php myadmin as you suggested but the option_value field was already set to: a:0:{}

    So then I tried hiding the plugins folder and uploading an empty one as per the instructions but that still didn’t work.

    Option 3, well I am already using the default theme

    This is really strange, they have really upset something when moving from versions 2 to 3 but I cannot figure out what!!!

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated as without accessing the backend admin area WordPress is pretty pointless!

    Thanks

    It’s a brand new site so I am trying to load the latest 3.0.3 version from scratch.

    I tried uploading the old 2.9 version just to see if it worked and it did!

    I then thought I would try the auto upgrade from version 2.9 but when I click on the auto upgrade button nothing happened at all!

    Something in the backend login of versions 3+ has been completely re-configured to work a different way and obviously works for some people but not others.

    My server and php software all adhere to WP’s requirements but I just cannot get it to work!

    Can anybody help me?

    Thanks

    The error log is saying the wp-login.php file does not exist, can anyone help or has had the same problem?
