Looking at the logs I can see that when I try to browse to any page behind wp-admin I get a 302 redirect response, and am redirected to

GET /wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F HTTP/1.1″ 500

So I’m getting a 500 server error for whatever reason as a result of trying this upgrade.

Browsing other forums I saw it mentioned that one should delete the .maintenance file after a failed upgrade. But I can’t see any such file.

Apologies for jumping on your thread but it sounds like I’m having the very same problem and I’m wondering what to do from here…

Hey @drwcb, did you manage to figure out what happened here? I’ve run into the very same problem as you after trying the auto upgrade this evening. My site is loading fine but when I browse to wp-admin I’m getting that same /upgrade.php redirect with the message <site> is currently unable to handle this request.

So I can’t even dig around within the dashboard or Customise sections to try to fix it.
