SID-01707: Upgrade issues - topic 'WebCreateNewTopic' does not exist

Hi All,

I have recently 'upgraded' my twiki on a new server and have run into a couple of issues, such as:-

when trying to create a new topic, I get the following error:-

Note: This topic does not exist

The topic 'WebCreateNewTopic' you are trying to access does not exist, yet.

Also, when old users (users created prior to the upgrade), try to edit their pages, it doesnt save their new details i.e. their uploaded pictures.

Here is a brief outline of how I did the installation and upgrade

I installed the latest version of TWiki onto my new server (5.1.4) and configured apache

I then copied all my data and pub files from the old server onto my new server (besides the Twiki, main, sandbox , _default and _empty webs), also setting the appropriate permissions on the files.

I then copied all the topics from the old web to the new web, without overwriting any of the new topics, setting the appropriate permissions once again

I then copied the .htpasswd file over from the old server to the new server, setting the appropriate permissions on the file, then configured the TWiki.

Everything seems to work besides the two issues that i identified above? Have I done something incorrectly, or have I missed something?

Thanks!
