Upgrading to WordPress 2.0, first try, failed
I decided to upgrade to WordPress 2.0 this evening. First I started on my test site, ie. on the account I still have on the university server.
I copied the files, made database backup, uploaded new wordpress in, copied old files into its directory, renamed old wordpress installation to make the way for new one, renamed the new one to take over. Ran the upgrade script. Script said it worked. And the site itself… bingo, everything fine!
Looks cute, this new version, and this shiny post editor. Right away I start with my “production” facility.

500 Internal Server Error

1 hour of unsuccessful tries to repair the thing.
I rolled back. Thanks God the database backup was flawless…
