 * Hey, the test link didn’t load for me – it gave a 404 not found message.
 * A random guess is that the upload returned expected characters or information–
   so I’ve pushed out an update, 2.7.5, that clears the output before it’s returned
   to the browser.
 * Can you give it a go and see if it helps?
 * Failing that, does the error message only appear after you’ve tried uploading
   a file?
 * Does it say anything about which file generated the error?
 * Does it appear on a white page, or as a pop up message in the browser.
