I just installed the latest version of mybb, but now im getting this error

MyBB has experienced an internal error and cannot continue.

Error Type:
MyBB Error (42)
Error Message:
Your board has not yet been upgraded. Please do so before attempting to browse it.

help please.
If it's a fresh install you shouldn't be getting that.

If you're upgrading, run the upgrade script at yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php
ok that worked and it was in process of upgrading but now it says this

Rewriting config.php

Unable to open inc/config.php
Before the upgrade process can continue, you need to changes the permissions of inc/config.php so it is writable.

How do i do this?
You have to change the permissions of the file (CHMOD) to 666 using you FTP-client.
ok ty that worked, the sign of the devil :|

Upgrade Complete

Congratulations, your copy of MyBB has successfully been updated to 1.6.0.

Please remove this directory before exploring your upgraded MyBB

So now i just got to delete the upgrade.php file and its all finshed?
You probably don't need to delete anything, there should be a lock file created and if you go to your forum it should run fine. If that's not the case and it gives an error just delete the entire install folder.
I have the same issue as well. My forum link is http://undeadoralive.x10.mx

I tried to access http://undeadoralive.x10.mx/install/upgrade.php but I get this Error message: http://i36.servimg.com/u/f36/15/36/47/26/captur10.png
Rok, go to cPanel, and go to the install folder. Delete the 'lock' file and it should work.
What's the install folder?
It's in public_html of your cPanel.
