Can you provide a URL for the site so we can have a look? Just because you have a blank screen doesn't mean nothing was sent. There is probably lots of stuff in the browser we could have a look at.

The site address is:
http://www.pacesinfo.org/paideia/...

Are there logs I could look at or something that would tell me what's going on? By all appearances, it seems the database wasn't fully updated with the changes for 5.6.0, but I'm not sure how to confirm this.

BTW: For this install, I followed the steps to do an "In-place" upgrade, Method 2 listed in the following how-to:

I would not recommend replacing the core, I have had problems with this method before. I always upload the new version to the updates folder.

That said, it may be the reason you are not seeing your site.

Sorry for all the dupe posts. I didn't realize it was doing this.
Every time I post, the window stays up with a busy icon in the middle like it's submitting the post, but then never completes.

At this point I'm stuck. I've tried doing the upgrade both manually, and using the regular update method, and neither seems to work. I think I'm just going to scrap it and re-build the whole site using a fresh install of the latest version. That is unless somebody can offer something here in the next day or so that helps me to resolve it.

Its something we learn to live with. Not the best of adverts for concrete5 :(

I had a similar problem on my first attempt to upgrade to 5.6.0. It ran with no errors, but then all my pages were severely fouled up, with most of the content not appearing.

I traced it to one of my custom overrides that became outdated with the upgrade. If you have any core functions you've overridden with customizations, try removing them temporarily.

I inherited the site from someone else, so I'm not aware of any customizations. I've reached out to the previous webmaster, but where would I look to find these? O

Look for files in any of the folders outside the /concrete, /files, or /updates folders. If any are present, try temporarily removing them. (Don't just delete them, move them somewhere.)

Also check the /packages folder to see what add-ons have been installed. If one of those is outdated at this version, you can usually download updates for them from the marketplace.

Updated all the installed packages, even deleted a few not used, checked for any folders or code outside the ones mentioned, and tried it again, with the same results. I'm leaning toward there being an errant package or something along these lines tripping up the install, but I just can't see anything obvious.

I have loaded the new install as folder Concrete_560 in the root, and the old version is Concrete_old. I can readily swap out the names for "Concrete" and the old version still works, but when I rename 560 or just drop the suffix, I get the white screen with nothing loading.
The update/conversion script seems to run fine, but then nothing works when it's finished. Is there a log or some kind of debugging I can do to figure out what's happening?

As for the problem with posting on the forum, I get the same thing, too. Every time. I just wait 20-30 seconds, open a new tab to the forum to confirm it posted, then close the tab where I posted it. Whenever I see duplicate posts, I know exactly what happened. :-)

It appears that the script to update/add the new tables, didn't execute when I installed the new version.
I'm seeing lots of these kinds of messages in the Error_Log in the root. I've run the script multiple times, and it always comes back and says that the upgrade completed, but obviously it didnt. What do I do?
