Problem getting past main page

[Andrew Davis]

Ah, now I understand. My apologies. I missed the part where you were 
upgrading and reading the emails showed errors that are very common to 
first time installations.

That said, all I can say is "read the log files". Quite a few issues 
I've encountered were solved when consulting various log files (httpd 
logs, /var/log/messages, mysql logs, etc).
