My problem was memory_limit in php.ini. Setting that to 16MB, or better yet, having my webhost set it to 16MB, solved my problem.

Now proudly running WordPress 2.5!

OK, I’ve used phpMyAdmin to optimize very table, I’ve kicked up RewriteOptions MaxRedirects to a hugely high number.

No complaints from the mySQL server after this, but the second error persists, and I am still without an admin menu.

Backup restored, and I’m rolling back with 2.3.3.

MichaelH, that backup has been used and reused. I’d hoped never to use it, but it’s been a lifesaver. I tried your suggestions, with the same results. But from my http error logs, I see:

[Sun Mar 30 10:55:36 2008] [error] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

That’s from my mySQL server; it’s followed by:

[Sun Mar 30 10:58:10 2008] [error] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 233472 bytes) in /wp-admin/includes/schema.php on line 111

Thanks!
