Upgrading Drupal

Since moving to 4.7, I've had a couple of users complain about "Precondition failed" errors. Here is the error:

Precondition Failed

The precondition on the request for the URL /classes/ evaluated to false.

Here is a post that causes this error:

This is a test. I am going to post an example of a command.

telnet www.mysite.com 80

This one posts OK:

telnet www.mysite.com 80

Here is a post that causes this error:

I use CVS. I like using CVS. When asked which CVS I used, I say just use it.

Here is a post that is OK:

I use CVS. I like using it. When asked which one I used, I say just use it.

The last one is particularly mystifying. Anyway, could anyone tell me what is making these checks and how I might make it a little less enthuiastic? Thanks ;)

PS just tried turning off the HTML filter and the line-break filter and it seems to make no difference.

Hi.

I'm new to drupal, used 4.6.5 and then followed the upgrade guide and video to 4.7. When I reload the page, I see the text below but don't know what it means. Any ideas ?

I'm having problems updating my site from 4.6.5 (I think) to 4.7, and I'm having no success. I seem to have two problems:

+ I get a lot of error messages regarding SQL errors (alter, drop, create)

+ The nodes that contain UTF-8 characters becomes garbled

My site is pretty "plain" I've avoided using any module (except markdown) in order to avoid problems during backup ... and I have no knowledge of drupal internals so I don't really know where to start looking for the problem.

upgraded to drupal 4.7
upgraded to gallery 2.1 also.
rewrite rules are correct.

but the data in old gallery version is lost.
in drupal the iamges are shown as n/a under the gallery feature. please take a look at this.

what seems to be the problem?

i upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7, did the whole update.php.
I've set to use the standard bluemarine template, and i'm getting this error on /node
causing a fatal and therefore a blank page.

any hints on where to look to resolve this?

Hi

After having too many dramas updaing a 4.6 install to 4.7, I've just decided to just migrate some content elements across. So far, so good. I've managed to get my taxonomy and aggregated feeds across.

My problem is that I need to move a blog from a 4.6 install to a 4.7 install....just a single blog (it has about 800 entries, otherwise I'd use Ecto to repost via xmlrpc). However, I'm having trouble doing this.
