Ross, I attempted the update this weekend after disabling all third-party plugins and reverting to the default theme. I followed the procedure as outlined here and again encountered a 500 error. I'm not sure what is wrong but every step was followed correctly yet I'm still encountering errors.

Hey, Ross. I'll have to break my site again to do so. Unfortunately, I only have limited time during the week to devote to this. I will attempt to do so Tuesday. (I brought it back up so my users could use it. I have a very active site.)

Update: I attempted to update again using this process but it still doesn't work properly. I then attempted a fresh install of Oxwall using version 1.8.1 and it did not work. I actually received the same error. This may be server related and not Oxwall. I currently use Bluehost Cloud Sites hosting with the following server specs:
Apache 2.2.31
PHP 5.4.24
MySQL 5.5.42
And this matches recommended hosting specs. Am I missing something? Currently, I'm stuck at Oxwall 1.7.5 indefinitely until I can resolve this.
Edit: Updated title of thread to match the core issue. The Virtual Gift plugin was a symptom that tipped me off to the core issue.

Musik, pm your cpanel access details and admin website access details, I'll take a look at the issue. Do backup beforehand please.

Your server does not meet our requirements
you php version is 5.2.17 and you need 5.3 +
which is why your site is broken after each update.

Thanks, Ross! Also, going to mark as resolved. After updating my server PHP to 5.4, I followed these steps and completed upgrading my site to 1.8.1.

Are you facing issues upgrading or installing Oxwall 1.8.1? You're not alone! Many users encounter problems during the process. Make sure your server meets the necessary requirements and that all files are correctly uploaded. If you're looking for an additional tip, consider researching the cheapest way to ship a car cross country to save on transport costs while you focus on your website upgrade.
