Admin page: error 500 after upgrade from 1.6 beta to 1.6

I just upgraded from 1.6 beta to 1.6 version today.  During upgrade process I received a blank page with ERROR 500.  This happened right after a message which told me the database was updated and backup is now file XXXX.

I closed the browser and opened the home page of the site and everything appears to be working properly EXCEPT when I try to open the ADMIN page.  I get the same error. 

I was able to access the one course that I have posted there right now and everything that I tried worked OK. 

PHP 4.4.2
MySQL 4.0.25
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)
Server is hosted by 1and1

Any suggestions?

Hi Rod,

Please check Eloy's advice in the discussion Incompatability with Moodle 1.6beta and 1and1?

Helen,

Thanks for sending me to that link.  I am not running 1.6beta, the problem I described here came after upgrading from 1.6beta to 1.6

However, I did add that line Eloy suggested to my .htacess file and I now have access to my admin page.  I am not sure if all problems are solved, but it did solve that one.

Thanks again!

Rod Spears
