Hello,

EDIT: Please disregard. My fault. Typo in my URL. Sorry.

Upgrading from 1.6.9 to 1.6.10.

I am following the instructions here: http://docs.mybb.com/Upgrading.html#Begi...he_Upgrade

And I am on step 2.1 doing this: www.yourdomain.com/forum/install/

But when I do that I get the message:

Quote:MyBB Internal Error

MyBB has experienced an internal error and cannot continue.

Error Type:
MyBB Error (43)
Error Message:
The install directory (install/) still exists on your server and is not locked. To access MyBB please either remove this directory or create an empty file in it called 'lock'.

So I tried this: www.yourdomain.com/forum/upgrade/

And got the same thing. I also tried adding then removing the lock file to see if that would help but no change.

What do I need to do?
