"can't do this now on the upgraded system" not "can". Is it a Monday?

Jules,
I had to get my system working for users, so I can do this now on the
upgraded system. But I ran it on the new VM system and no errors. But
I still cannot upload.

Also, send us the entire output of "ls -al /var/zendto".
Then I can compare what you've got with my Ubuntu 16.04 test machine,
which I know works.
Cheers,
Jules.

Then "pwconv" so the change takes effect.
Then try this
su - apache (or whatever user your Apache is running as)
clamdscan /var/zendto/*
clamdscan --fdpass /var/zendto/*
exit
What happened? Did the virus scans both complete successfully?
If not, and you're running CentOS/RedHat 7, try this and then give the
above another try:
groupmems --group virusgroup --add apache
systemctl restart httpd
I added that extra groupmems command to the Installer a day or two ago
when I discovered that RedHat/CentOS had changed their group membership
rules in an update.
Any improvement?
Cheers,
Jules.
P.S. Otherwise, if you can give me remote ssh access I can login myself
and take a look for you. I would be interested to see what it is, if
it's not any of the above.

My Installer can be run in stages, and those stages can be run
independently.
So you might want to download the Installer, unpack it and wander into
it. In what will obviously be the right sub-dir for your OS, you will
see the numbered scripts.
# cd install.ZendTo/CentOS-RedHat/
# ls
1-devtools.sh 3-clamav.sh 5-httpd-php.sh 7-zendto.sh CentOS6 RHEL7
2-php.sh 4-firewall.sh 6-email.sh 8-selinux.sh RHEL5
#
If your web server is already working nicely, then you can probably
skip stage 1 (though it won't do any harm).
If you haven't i
nstalled PHP 7.2 along with things like the sodium
extension, then run stage 2 which installs PHP. (Grab a backup copy of
your ZendTo installation first, as it may have to remove the *whole* of
PHP first which can also remove ZendTo and other PHP applications in the
process, before it can install the correct version).
Stages 3 and 5 shouldn't do any damage, but will add any new settings
they need for PHP and so on.
Stage 7 does the actual ZendTo installation itself, which it will do as
an upgrade if it finds a zendto RPM already installed. Well worth
running.
Stage 8 is only relevant if you are using SELinux, and won't do
anything if you're not.
Since version 4, ZendTo no longer needs any form of custom-built PHP or
anything like that. So there's no recompiling to be done.
Then if you have a previous preferences.php and/or zendto.conf, you
need to use
/opt/zendto/bin/upgrade_preferences_php
and
/opt/zendto/bin/upgrade_zendto_conf
to upgrade those files.
Also, if you have done an RPM upgrade from ZendTo 4, you probably have
a whole stack of *.rpmnew files in /opt/zendto/templates. You want to
move each of those into place so they replace your old *.tpl files.
As I said, it really is faster/easier/better to build v5 from scratch,
its requirements are so different from v4.
Hope that helps,
Jules.

None of that helps. I'm building a new system. This is a production
system. I never had problems in the past with upgrading so I went ahead
and did it. Bad move. Unless anyone has any other ideas, I will just
keep working on setting up the new system. I have to get something
running again for my users.

If you are using SELinux (most likely if you are using CentOS or
RedHat), then I would also advise
restorecon -FRv /opt/zendto /var/zendto
to reset all the SELinux attributes to the values configured by my
Installer.
Also, if you think it might be an SELinux problem, you can switch it
into "permissive" mode by
setenforce permissive
systemctl restart httpd
systemctl restart clamd at scan
To switch it back to "enforcing", you then do
setenforce enforcing
systemctl restart httpd
systemctl restart clamd at scan
Cheers,
Jules.

Going back through the mailing list archives, I see that I am having
exactly the same problem as Kevin O'Connor in this thread:
http://jul.es/pipermail/zendto/2018-June/003208.html

Files are uploaded, but I get that error message and the email is not
sent.
There is no stated resolution in that thread. Any suggestions or do I
have to rebuild a brand new Zend.To server?
Zend.To has been fairly solid for me...a bit of a pain to find this
upgrade to be so fragile.

Just upgraded my Zend.To inst
allation from 4.x to 5.15-1. Everything
appeared to go ok. But when I click drop-off files, I get an error that
states: "Sorry, I failed to drop-off your files! Note that you cannot
drop-off directories, only files." I'm not dropping off a directory,
just a single file. I tried a couple different file types - same error
each time. Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks!
