Upgraded to WP 2.9 – and ended up with an HTTP error 500
Twitter It!
After quite some time, I visited this my blog to apply the most recent WordPress upgrade, the 2.9 release.
After the I finished the upgrade, the front-end rendered fine, while I constantly got an error from with ADMIN site: HTTP 500 error.
In case your site runs on a server hosted by 1&1 too, you have to do two things to get ADMIN running again:
1. Create a php.ini in WP’s root directoy and add this single line of text:
memory=20MB
2. Edit WP’s .htaccess file and add
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
as the very first line.
Thanks for the tips! I’ve upgraded yesterday I got exactly that, an error 500 couldn’t get to the back end. Luckily I had made a backup of all the files and just put them back on.. Gonna try yours later today! Thanks again!
