I just want to say thank you. I just upgraded to 2.9.1 a year after this post was created and it still works. I had problems logging into my cpanel, but the front-end worked fine.

@igor -

So you can’t access anything?

FTP to your host, delete NextGen from your plugins and see if you can access anything.

I tried installing NextGen for WP2.7 with 1&1 but due to the 20mb cap on php.ini I got noting but errors.

You may need to switch providers or choose a different gallery plugin.

argh.. also upgraded to 2.7.1, and also upgraded my nextgen gallery to the latest version. and suddenly, only the 500 internal server error.. for every page i try to open (admin, normal blog, everything)
any suggestions, because the php.ini solutions doesn’t work for me? :/
cheers!

THANKS!!! It was the only thing that worked for me!! I was getting 500 errors all the time after I upgraded to 2.7.1 version. I think I’ll reinstall it again anyways, but now I can get into admin and make the necessary settings to perform the reinstall.

I was having a 500 error accessing only the “PAGES” portion of my WordPress (everything else worked). I tried this, and my problem was immediately solved. Thank you.
