Hello
I have upgraded from 4.6.3 to 4.7.3 with no errors. But now when I am logged in everything works fine, but as anonymous I get 403 errors. I have run chmod -R 777 on the drupal directory just to be certain, and I can't find any other message then access denied in the drupal log.
I need to add that I changed the right for anonymous to have all rights but I still get the same 403 error, what could I have missed?
Did you have any access control modules in place on your site, such as taxonomy access, organic groups or like that? These modules generally need to be properly disabled before undertaking an upgrade. Just a wild guess here, but it's something I did on one site last year -- it's easy to overlook.

Now I'm confused. According to this page, http://drupal.org/node/57822, if the contrib module has a *.install file, it should be left enabled. OG has an og.install file.
The same page also says:
"The Basic Upgrade Steps handbook page recommends to turn off all modules that are not core modules before starting the update. Since Drupal 4.7 provides an install and update system for contributed modules this is not always correct."
I have to admit this is the first time I've heard of disabling non-core modules when doing an upgrade! Maybe that explains some of the past problems I've had -- or not. :-)
