 * Rename your .htaccess to off.htaccess and see if that gets you back in.

 * Awesome, now go to your permalinks settings page and hit save there. It should
   rebuild you a proper one.
 * The error 500 means the old .htacess is corrupt or has bad code in it. So we 
   should ask WP to make a new one 🙂

 * i’m getting this error too after upgrading to 4.1. renaming, or deleting, .htaccess
   makes no difference.
    the site is still up but anything under /wp-admin/ produces
   the 500 internal server error.

 * Before updating the dozens of sites we manage, I tried updating some of my own
   sites. Two out of three gave the 500 Internal Server Error
    All three of these
   sites are NOT new ..and never had a prob with updates before. All 3 are running
   4.0.1 (well one updated 🙂 ) Can it be a timeout issue ? I notice the proftpd
   process being active for a seriously long time when i try the failing ones.

 * No progress. Yesterday the apache error log showed timeout errors in mod_fcgid
   
   Today, I am getting an nginx error “504 Gateway Time-out” Any help or insights
   would be appreciated.

 * Solved: for my instance .. i increased the
    `FcgidIOTimeout 60` from the original
   45 in /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf Then restarted both apache and nginx

   but still have no access to wp-admin
