Kathryn, thanks for the help. Just for fun I got a Linux hosting account to experiment with from Godaddy. Their Economy shared hosting plans are very inexpensive, and they always have deals.

In talking to tech support, he wondered why I had a Windows account to run WordPress. I have a Windows programming background so I have always picked the Windows based hosting plans so I have the option of running asp.net / sql or a CMS like WordPress. Apparently Linux hosting accounts are the recommended system for WordPress.

I really like using WordPress, easy to use, for what it is intended to do. I have created asp.net experimental sites, I can do the code behind, but making a nice looking site, not so easy to do. Although there are tools, and I have experimented with them, nothing beats the simplicity of WordPress for this type of site in my opinion.

So if all goes well with the Linux hosting account, I will probably just switch over to it for a CMS type site.

Thanks again for the help, I will mark this as resolved.

Kathryn, I tried ftp twice, no luck, still had an internal sever error. I deleted the singl theme from the WP console and re-installed. same problem.

Looks like ver 1.1.2 is not compatible with an IIS server for whatever reason.

I contacted Godaddy, I don’t have access to the php logs. For now I will leave it at 1.0.4.

Do you know if ver 1.1.2 had any security fixes, or was it just features that were added?

Hi Kathryn;

The server error is 500, “Internal Server Error”. Can’t log in can’t do anything. The server is hosed, in reality most likely the WordPress app crashes. I tried upgrading this twice from inside WordPress, both times the upgrade was a success, no errors, until I went to view website, then the “Internal Server Error” html page. When I get a chance I could try updating from ftp, for now I will leave it at 1.0.4.

Do you know if this upgrade was tested on a Microsoft-IIS server?

Hosting info, Godaddy shared host.

Microsoft-IIS/8.0, Windows Server 2012 R1,
PHP version is 5.4.
Database client version: libmysql – mysqlnd 5.0.11

Thanks for the quick response Kathryn. The first thing I asked about was the server logs, the response was it is a generic error. 1.0.4 works fine, as mentioned it works on my bitnami apache server.

Not much I can do since it hoses the site, and it is pain to get it going again. Maybe the coders who did the update would have an idea. Godaddy sells a lot of ms server shared hosts, so I wouldn’t think it is a server issue,especially since the last 2 versions worked fine.
