the automatic update worked.

I tried uploading the nightly build push at 10pm PST then again 12:30
am PST
and I still can not access my admin panel. If I try to access the blog
itself, it shows a new blank blog and I got a success you installed a
new
blog. When I check the database and I check the files, all of my
existing
blog is intact but only the demo Hello WOrld post shows in the default
theme. The fatal error occurs when I try to access admin panel
