Run ./script/server and then hit your site on port 3000 (or whereever the server says its running). Try to go directly to /admin. If you can access that page save the default settings and then go to the themes tab. If the default theme isn't active, activate it and then try going to the normal URL. After successfully upgrading to 2.6.0 I came back the next day and my site was dead. The logs were claiming zero-length responses from dispatch.fgci. When I would go to the front page via the built-in server I would simply get a theme path written to my browser. After much messing around I discovered that no theme was active. I don't know how I got into this state but there certainly needs to be some kind of exception thrown to the browser when typo is in this state. -James
