A success story:

— I had successfully upgraded to 2.0.1 and had gone wrong when importing older Blogger posts. Blank pages, or No input file specified, or server error messages …

Having battled with this problem for days and having had no response to my posts to this forum, I finally gave up.

Then today, having read random posts here, I

a) created a very small .htaccess file,
b) tired different browsers (FIrefox, Mozilla, Safari)
c) found that if I pressed refresh twice, I could see my admin pages (without any template but at least I knew something was alive … )

I backed up the databases again, and deleted via FTP all the WORDPRESS files off the server. And I reinstalled WORDPRESS one final time.

Already installed, I was told.
I might add I used SAFARI instead of Firefox 1.5 at this point, refreshing the login screen from one of the screens still open on the desktop

And voila, there was everything but I could only see it after logging in with a very old admin password from the 1.5 install!

Some things I am not going to do this time round:
* fiddle with permalinks
* fiddle with importing blogger posts

And I am going to back up and back up …

I do hope this helps someone technical to sort out things with 2.x because from reading these forums I would say there is some backend work to do perhaps, though I realise you probably have a critical mass of users and not enough technies at hand or kind enough to offer their support.

Niziol asked,
> are all of you encountering these errors using IE? Has anyone tried a better browser, like Firefox …?

I use Firefox; have had that error and am still waiting for a reply to my question days ago (:> |

I upgraded from the old version to version 2 to 2.01
No problems …
Then imported from blogger
— the old posts were playing up so I began deleting them.
Progressively, things went wrong with “no input file specified” on the viewed site files, eventually even on admin pages until I could do nothing,
Have just reinstalled.
Now: take a look at https://www.australian-youth.info/news/index.php and tell me what’s wrong … Templates have vanished (there were no custom things, or plugins, though the imported blogger files were I might add, a bit old)

Please someone help me.
