I've found the procedure in Wiki:

If upgrading to 1.4 or higher, this step is no longer needed. Please proceed to the next step. With your FTP client, navigate to the inc/ folder and replace the following files with the ones you previously downloaded in the first step of this section
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
CHMOD the following. CHMOD files to 666 (or 777, whatever suits your server) and directories to 777:
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/
./inc/languages (1.2 and later)
./admin/backups (1.2 and later)
./cache (1.4 and later)
./cache/themes (1.4 and later)
Go to www.yourdomain.com/forumfolder/install/upgrade.php
You will see a drop down list asking what version of MyBB you're upgrading from. Be sure you select the correct version you are currently using or else the upgrade will not work correctly or completely!
Run the upgrade script, making sure you follow all instructions carefully.
After the upgrade is complete, create a file called "lock" in the install folder or delete the "install" folder from your server. For extra protection, CHMOD ./inc/config.php to 755.
Go to your forum homepage and make sure everything is working as it should and no evident errors in both the forum and Admin Panel exist.
You may now wish to re-open your forum. You can do this by going to "Admin CP > Board Settings > Change > Board Online / Offline" and changing "Board Closed" to "No". If you wish to adjust the theme and templates of the forum before opening it, that is also fine!

Mybe someone can use it.
Thanks again for your time.
Yeah, you just go to ./install/upgrade.php, select 1.2.6 from the list and click next until it's done. Should take a minute, two max.

What is the URL of your forum??

Underneath the url

http://www.chevyspeedshop.com/chevy_forum/
Are you sure the ./install/ folder is present in /chevy_forum/ ??
Hi Matt,
I think you're right.
In what folder do I have to look??
Well, look in your forum root folder, where the /images/ folder is, and there should be a folder called 'install' below it. What version are you updating to??
I'm upgrading to 1.4.2
