    I am trying to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7.1, and am getting the white screen of death. I have followed instructions carefully, but when I try to login after the upgrade, I just get the white screen as though there is a php error somewhere.

    Here is the code from the updated config file (less the proprietary info):

    <?php
    /* Don't try to create this file by hand. Read the README.txt and run the installer. */
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
    define('DB_NAME', ' ');    // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', ' ');     // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', ' '); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');
    define('VHOST', 'yes');
    $base = '/';
    
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mysite.com');
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
    define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1');
    
    define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
    define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
    define('COOKIEPATH', '');
    define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');
    
    define('AUTH_KEY', 'ea03fa851991ed587ca72aaa35803b59256411a52186b48247ce29e679a44821');

    // double check $base
    if( $base == 'BASE' )
    	die( 'Problem in wp-config.php - $base is set to BASE when it should be the path like "/" or "/blogs/"! Please fix it!' );
    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
    
    // Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define ('WPLANG', '');
    
    // uncomment this to enable wp-content/sunrise.php support
    define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
    
    // Uncomment and set this to a URL to redirect if a blog does not exist or is a 404 on the main blog. (Useful if signup is disabled)
    // For example, browser will redirect to http://examples.com/ for the following: define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://example.com/' );
    // define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', '' );
    
    define( "WP_USE_MULTIPLE_DB", false );
    
    /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
    
    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
    ?>

    Thanks in advance!

    Could you check your webserver's error logs to see what's in there? That's a good habit to get into no matter what software you;re running.

    A search though should show you that white screen usually means a problem with a plugin. Try renaming the plugins and mu-plugins subdirectories to see if that helps.

    edit: Oh, and which set of upgrade instructions are you following?

    I am following the instructions posted here:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU (2.6 to 2.7)

    I renamed all of the plugin subdirectories but no luck.

    The log files are not revealing...

    O, and I think I only have 2.6, not 2.6.5, but do not see any upgrade instructions for going from 2.6 to 2.6.5...

    Also, there are no errors in the apache or php error logs...
