I need to know....?
and i uploaded the 1.41 files thru ftp to my bulletin folder,, then tried the url upgrade.php
and guess what, i got this error:


Error
The installer is currently locked, please remove 'lock' from the install directory to continue
Hmmmm? where to find or locate and unlock?
More over can one upgrade from 1.4 to 1.42 skipping any 1.4.1 folders or files or patches?
and is any patches required to upgrade from 1.4 on up to either upgrades???

well you should be able to find the lock file there in you install directory.....

and of course if you want to upgrade directly from 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 you can do that by replacing files required for the 1.4.2 upgrade.

you find these files here........

You put that lock file there at some point, just remove it.

And if you can go from 1.2 to 1.4.2, you can go from 1.4 to 1.4.2

lock file is placed there by MyBB installer automatically after every upgrade or install

Well, not always... Vista Panel does CHMODing itself and locks the folder, CPanel doesn't, I have to do it myself.

Thanks, it was a bunch of old folders and files from 12 versions etc; confusing the allowance of a upgrade or install...

now i only have a security hole to worry about since upgrading to 1.4.3
