Upgrade to 2020.1 yesterday and then uploaded website:
First problem it wouldnt recognise the upload directory. It worked previously. The directory in question is actually a symbolic link to another directory. Changed to the linked directory and it worked. Would prefer it if X5 went back to recognising symbolic links.
Second and very major problem. Cant access the admin page. Keep getting a HTTP 500 error. Checked the file structure and the relevant directory is there.

Solved the admin page issue. php Version. Prehaps next time Incomedia should make it more obvious about there being an issue with a minimum php version.
Still got the upload problem with the symbolic link.

When using the built-in FTP engine the software will warn you before uploading if the version of PHP on the web server requires upgrading.

It didnt warn me.

Are you using a third party software (such as FileZilla) to export the site to the server?
The change to the PHP requirements is also notified here:
