Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the
content author checking app I mentioned above?

Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating
a new page with a simple script to test that?

If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try
enabling the superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to
create the content author checking app page (with the mentioned source
code).

We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you
describe, from the information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a
clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard
without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your
particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps.

Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more
information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively,
you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving
any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you
include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting
documents.


Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes
here:
1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in
your webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an
improper war upgrade [3]?)
2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is
unlikely since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is
located in xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder,
without which your wiki would not be running.

Hope this helps getting to the bottom of this.

-Eduard
