Upgrading Drupal

I upgraded my site from 4.6.5 to 4.7 (and now 4.7.1) and came into the following problem.

Hyphens & quotes now show up as funny characters but if I SSH into the server and request the same node from MySQL, it looks fine!

Here's a page that's not displaying correctly (Presentation Skills – 7 Top Tips):
http://small-business-hub.co.za/node/453

And here's the output of MySQL on the box:

Have recently updated my website from drupal 4.6.6 to drupal 4.7.0
the problem is when i try to upload the logo from admin themes i get this error

copy(files/logo.gif): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/thegreat/public_html/ideas/includes/file.inc on line 362.

Have already given files directory 777 permision

what can be the problem here??

Hi,

I need to know how to use the patches posted for upgrading from 4.6.6 to 4.6.7..I've looked everywhere but can't find any instructions.

Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,

When I click on the links for upgrading Drupal (either FTP GUI Client Instructions or the Unix Command Line Upgrade) I get an access denied message.

I'm happy to do the patch route from the command line, but prefer to read the instructions anyway!

From the Drupal 4.6.7/4.7.1 release announcement and security advisory:

Make sure you have a .htaccess in your "files" dir and it contains this line:

SetHandler This_is_a_Drupal_security_line_do_not_remove

Pardon me for not going through the mailing lists, but what is this for and how is this supposed to work?

I have tried to upgrade from 4.6.6 to 4.7.0 three times now. Every time I end up with a front page that looks like this:

Home
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a

No theme, no menu, no nothing. Just unthemed nodes that don't appear to be displaying their relevant information.

I have disabled all third-party modules and themes. I have even run through every configuration page and re-saved the configuration information in order to make sure there's nothing lingering from those other modules.

When I run the upgrade script, the version that is detected is 133. As it runs, I do not see a changing percentage indicator. It immediately goes to 100% complete. I get no mysql query list, either. But I also get no errors from the upgrade script, but there are errors in the logs, most of which read things like:

Unknown column 'access' in 'field list' query: UPDATE users SET access = 1148531311 WHERE uid = 1 in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

or

Unknown column 'theme' in 'where clause' query: SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE theme = 'bluemarine' AND status = 1 ORDER BY region, weight, module in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

What am I doing wrong here? I have currently rolled back to my 4.6.6 backup. How should I proceed?
