OK so I think I found out what went wrong. I pointed the site to a new folder were I put a fresh WP installation. All OK. I ftp’ed just the old wp-config to that folder and I got the same http500error and blank page. I modified the wp-config to load a new fresh database and when I refreshed the site, the WP installation page came up.
Looks like the installation corrupted my database and unfortunately for me, I didn’t take a backup before I started the automatic upgrade (well I trusted it to be automatic and hassle free right?) Well I was WRONG, so now Im badly stuck as I need my site back ??
Any ideas anyone? Can I recover my database in any way? Data and tables are still in phpMyAdmin but they’re obviously corrupted.
Id appreciate any help at all
phpMyAdmin – 2.11.9.5
Server version: 5.0.83-community
MySQL client version: 5.0.83
Thank you!
