Upgrading Drupal

Hi guys,

I'v just perform the first upgrade for my new site from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4. But after that I found all my codes in any text area are messed up. No matter what I write. All get changed! Most of tags are automatically filted. I am pretty sure that I followed every step of upgrade guide as I did it n times before for my other sites n everytime it just work fine except this.

A picture of a sample mess up codes is provided here:

I'm about to upgrade a 4.5 site to 4.7, so transferred everything (4.5) across to a test server.

Everything seemed to go fine, so I was then going to upgrade to 4.6.6 when I noticed that comments hadn't been carried above. I can't see what I've done wrong.

Where are the comments stored?

Also, is it worth carrying across cache, accesslog, search index and watchdog? Is there anything else that wouldn't be carried across if I just emptied them?

Not really a problem, but a question (to whom may know the answer). Is it necessary to run the update script when going from 4.7.3. to 4.7.4? I have the following modules (installed new versions last week):
-user_status
-image
-img_assist

Rationale behind this question: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm doing a full upgrade, i've copied everything over and getting the following error messages when I try to do anything in the admin interface or run update.php.

Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

i've tried upgrading all 3 of my drupal sites i manage and get the same error with each one.

Any help would be very appreciative.

I've just upgraded my site from 4.6.9 to 4.6.10, and while everything seems to be fine in Firefox, when I went to test it in IE6, I cannot login.

I've tried several user accounts, and while the username appears on the "logged in users" block, the user login box is still shown, and I cannot access member only areas....

Any suggestions?

After upgrading to 4.7.4 from 4.7.3 (and overwriting my .htaccess without a backup unfortunately) I can no longer access anything that has a "node" value as it's url. Node/899 node/add node/anything will not work. Any other alias will work such as invite, admin, user. Everything with /node redirects to the home page.

Any ideas folks?

Disabling clean URL's seems to work, but that's just a patch, not a solution.
