I have civicrm on a local server using Drupal7. I have had the same issue with every recent upgrade.
The SysAdmin manual contains the following url to update the database following an upgrade: http://example.org/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1

In my case I am using a local fileserver so this becomes: http://myserver/drupal/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 This has not worked for me on a number of upgrades which resulted in me finding a different method by mistake. (honesty). The url I have now used successfully is : http://myserver/drupal/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1

suggesting the following generic url http://example.org/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1

So my question is whether there is an error in my original install which is causing the documented url not to work?

Your local server probably isn't configured in a way to allow for "clean urls". See https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/configuring-clean-urls/enable-clean-urls

  • Clean URLs are not enabled so thanks for pointing out the problem. – Simon Moseley Aug 4 '18 at 21:08
  • You'll find most examples assume Clean URLs is enabled. They are though just a simpler representation of the format you posted above. – Aidan♦ Aug 6 '18 at 10:17
