    So you used fantastico to undertake a automatic upgrade ? Which version did you upgrade to ?

    can you go yoursite.com/wp-login.php ?

    Or is everything blank ?

    Do you have a .htaccess file in your root folder?

    Best to probably just manually upgrade to new wordpress, just dont overwrite wp-contents folder and that should fix it

    This problem most probably might be caused because of corrupted wp-config file. Check how well is your wp-config file. Also check for any SQL errors.

    This is plugin related.

    Move all plugins to an upper folder (cut/paste). Wordpress should be working normally then as plugins will be deactivated.

    Then activate one by one to see which is causing this.

    I am second that.

    Always good to deactivated all plugins before upgrade and then activate them one by one after successful upgrade.

    DON.

    De-activate all your plugins and then turn them onb one by one, or simply look for outdated ones and then start there,

    Its a plugin issue for sure it sounds like,

    Hope this helps.

    1.2 is too old and I have never used it in my life time, anyway, congrats that your blog is back up and working. :)

    thanks hipnol,
    Nice pics of sallu's gf on your site :)

    So basically when doing an upgrade next time all i shud do is

    - deactivate all plugins while upgrading
    - upgrade to new wordpress manually and dont overwrite wp-contents
    - reactivate plugin

    ?

    hope that is it....


    thanks all,
    ASHISH THAKKAR

    1. Backup the wp-content folder and database
    2. Deactivate all plugins
    3. Upgrade manually if major jump like this one
    4. Upgrade plugins
    5. Activate plugins one at a time and check for issues, if issues delete the last activated plugin from the wp-contents/plugins folder.

    You can probably get away with just the automatic upgrade without any of the above precautions when doing a minor upgrade like 2.8.1 to 2.8.2, but always best to have your backups ready just in case.
