Hi, just gone through the upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.6.0. Everything was OK until I went to the admin page for the first time.

The static content was there - the list of green errors, etc from this morning. None of the menus, css, etc appeared so there is no way to progress with administration ... the home page works too, in that static node teasers appear, but nothing else. When I click any links or try typing URLs I just get the error 500 message.

I have absoloutely no idea what is going on!

Please! Any help welcome!

I disabled htaccess which caused the errors to change to

error 404: File not found
The document you requested is not found.

the original error 500 was
error 500: Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

try rewriteengine=off in .htaccess

I thought that the rewrite settings have not changed between 4.5 and 4.6 but I am getting older by every day and my memory is not as it was :)

thanks chx,

it did have some effect - I'm no longer getting error pages, but there is still no navigation menu, login, etc stuff and links all default to index.php.

I seem to have lost my breadcrumb too ...

I'm very thick when it comes to these things - from google I found something about error 500 happening when apache can't find or doesn't have permission for php.exe ... does that sound relevant? what can I do about it?

I tried phpmyadmin login and got:
error 403: Forbidden!
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.

which slapped my wrist!

:(

none of the files seem to have execute permissions ... is that how it should be?
