 * OK, got some more info into the issue. Part of the problem is that I used my 
   hosting company’s WordPress installation system, and it made an “easy” WordPress
   install, but it installed it into a subfolder, and created a domain pointer/redirect
   to that subfolder. That seems to be creating a domain-level rewrite that’s interfering
   with access to those subfolders.

 * Hi Leon,
 * To clarify your steps:
 * 1. Download WordPress locally and unzip
    2. In your local folder, delete “wp-
   content” folder 3. Upload remainder of local files onto your WordPress servicer
   via FTP to REPLACE all existing folders and files in your WP installation EXCEPT
   the “wp-content” folder. 4. Try to access WP Admin again.
 * This worked perfectly for me! From there, I was able to log back into my wpadmin
   and re-start the upgrade that previously failed.
 * Thanks so much!
