We are having an issue upgrading from 1.8.20 to 1.8.24.
I renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess
I went through the FTP process, You are currently running MyBB 1.8.20 whilst the latest generally available release is MyBB 1.8.24 (1824).
I am new to MyBB and we are trying to update 1.8.20 to 1.8.24.
MyBB Version: 1.8.20
PHP Version 7.3.23
SQL Engine MySQLi 5.6.40
Server Load 0
404 - Not Found
The page you are trying to access does not exist.
If this error persists, please contact the website webmaster.
Just ran it and File Verification: No Problems Detected.
Thank you.

Stupid question, but have you uploaded the contents of the Upload folder to the root of your MyBB installation? Not the folder and contents? Should be simple to verify the path via ftp, web panel, or shell access if you have it.
I'd also leave renaming htaccess until after I've upgraded successfully - but that's a personal preference not based on anything much. Except there's usually already one there you have to deal with.
cheers...

Thanks for the response.

If you are the webmaster of this site make sure that:
*You have uploaded correctly your files to the public_html directory which is the web-root of your account;
*You have not misspelled the URL. Bear in mind that letters are case sensitive and no white spaces are recommended;
*In case you have applied SEO - SEF URL rewriting rules, make sure you have re-named the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess. If there is already a non-empty .htaccess file read it and make sure the necessary rules are un-commented.
I believe this is what you are asking.

Can only recommend then that you contact your web hosting provider about this problem.
2020-11-27, 08:04 PM
Thanks to everyone for their help. I was able to get most of the issues resolved. Just in case someone else has the same issue. Here is what I did.
1. Updated one upgrade at a time. 1.8.20 > 1.8.21 > 1.8.22. Seems I have issues once I goto 1.8.23 and forward. I also had to delete the Install Folder from the server. then everything seemed to work. My next step is to figure out why 1.8.23 is causing problems.
Thanks Everyone I was able to upgrade to 1.8.24. Now I know how these things work.
Upload all your files with FTP and after that, Delete the Install Folder.
Took me a bit to figure this out, but hopefully, this will save some time for other users.

Glad it worked out.
Reading this thread again, you should've been running .../install/upgrade.php. Which doesn't explain the 404 errors. A previous install or upgrade should've locked the install directory, but don't recall ever getting a 404 error.
After running the upgrade, believe removing the /install directory is optional. A lock file will be placed in the folder after the procedure runs.
cheers...
