Upgrading to 2.0.14 gives "500 Internal Server Error"

Hello,

I just tried upgrading from 2.0.13.2 to 2.0.14, following all the instructions in the release notes, but when I went to run the upgrade URL, I only get a white page with:

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

Anyone have an idea what's going on? I doubled checked and the server is running compatible versions of PHP and MySQL.

Thanks.

UGH, the dreaded 500 Internal Server Error. It's almost as bad as the blank white page

I had a similar problem and I had to change the permission of the upgrade folder to 755.

Maybe that will help

I don't know if this is the case for you but, when I have gotten this error, it was due to file permissions. I am on a Linux server so, I chmod my PHP files to 644 and that ususally gets me back in business.

Hmm, I tried to chmod 777 my upgrade/ directory, but that didn't help.

Since it sounds like a permission problem, is there anything else I can try changing? mainfile.php, cache/ and templates_c/ are all chmod 777.

Ah ha! I spoke too soon. After chmodding the upgrade folder and waiting a while(not sure why waiting helped) the upgrade script worked. God was smiling on me I guess

Thanks guys for your help!

Some hosting companies use a PHP cache, changes are not "seen" by the server immediately

I've heard of this also... it's supposed to help lighten the load on the server or something.
