Finally I’ve upgraded my wordpress to 2.7!

The version of wordpress I downloaded and installed on my blog was 2.6.3. A week after I installed, I saw an upgraded version of wordpress. I’m a person who likes to use up to date stuff so I decided to upgrade. But as soon as I know upgrade is not that easy (you have to backup all the files, backup the db, then replace the new version with the old one and reactivate all your plugins and themes), I gave up.

Recently wordpress had released version 2.7 and I heard there’s a lot of things changed. Cool dashboard, new features and the thing that makes me want to upgrade is they have this auto update feature, which means, I had to suffer one last time to upgrade my 2.6.3 to 2.7 and next time, upgrade to new version will be as simple as a click on the mouse. Cool right?

So i downloaded the 2.7, backup all my files and started to replace my old files with the new files. Then when I’m done, I entered the path to access my admin page, I saw ERROR!! 500 Internal Server Error!! Oh my god, what happened? I tried to change this and that, search the Internet (quite a number of  ppl having this problem but there’s no solution?) and after a few hours later, I decided to restore back my old files. Guess what? It doesn’t work either!! My blog totally cannot access and I really have no idea what went wrong!

Argggg, I started to regret, why why why I go update to new version. And then suddenly after trying different ways, it works! I finally see the admin page again!! What have I changed? The permission!! You have to change all the folders and files permission! Why didn’t I think of this earlier!!

Phew, FINALLY!!!! Anyway, although I’ve went through a lot of troubles in upgrading but I’m still glad that I’ve upgraded to 2.7. Have you upgrade yours? Have fun.. and I hope yours will be less troubles!
