Thanks,
been there, done that,
machine keys, browser cache, did all that before posting
no way to restart application as I can't login.

This is the first time an upgrade failed for me, sooo,
I have several other sites to upgrade,
so I am going to re download the upgrade package, finish downloading
my sites for backup, and restore the broken site when the hosting company gets around to restoring my db.

I am having a banner day...
Upgraded another of my sites that I had local control of the backups..
Threw the following error:

However, logging into the site it says it is now 5.06.  Seems to work ok, guess I will wait for
"pigs to fly" ...

otoh; with enough external velocity applied, even pigs can fly.

Any comment/help appreciated, I am not seeing these errors being reported by others for 5.06.
