It may have been an unknown module or my template (RocketThemes Hadron 1.5.0), but PHP 5.5.30 seems to have been a conflict with the J 3.6.5 upgrade. I didn’t have the cPanel PHP switcher, so I had support install that, and set this site to PHP 5.6.27. This fixed my error.
I’ve done this upgrade, and my Administrator kicks out an Internal Server Error 500 when I try to view Modules and Templates. Very little troubleshooting out there right now following this update, yet. I can’t find much in log files… error_log (in / or in /administrator/) or Error Logs in cPanel don’t register this, it seems.
