Body: <p>I have civicrm on a local server using Drupal7. 
  I have had the same issue with every recent upgrade.<br>
  The SysAdmin manual contains the following url to update the database following an upgrade:
  <a href="http://example.org/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.org/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1</a></p>
  
  <p>In my case I am using a local fileserver so this becomes:
  <a href="http://myserver/drupal/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://myserver/drupal/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1</a>
  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 :
  <a href="http://myserver/drupal/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://myserver/drupal/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1</a></p>
  
  <p>suggesting the following generic url
  <a href="http://example.org/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.org/index.php?q=civicrm/upgrade?reset=1</a></p>
  
  <p>So my question is whether there is an error in my original install which is causing the documented url not to work? </p>

  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>
