Here are the full instructions for an upgrade from vB4 to vB5:
1. You need to remove all vB3 / vB4 files and folders out of the way first, (except attachments, avatars etc if you're storing these on the server).
2. Download and unzip the vBulletin 5 files.
3. You need to rename this file:
htaccess.txt
To:
.htaccess
(Note the 'dot' at the start)
4. You need to rename this file:
/config.php.bkp
To:
/config.php
Then, you need to rename this file:
/core/includes/config.php.new
To:
/core/includes/config.php
Then, in that file, you need to complete the following fields:
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';
Change forum to whatever your database name is.
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[email protected]';
Change the email address to your own.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
Change root to the database username
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
Enter the database password inside the '' marks.
All other fields should be left as default, unless your database is on a separate server, in which case this will need changing:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
5. Upload all files to your server
6. Browse to yourforumpath.com/core/install/upgrade.php.
7. Enter your customer number and the upgrade will proceed.
8. Delete the /core/install directory after the upgrade has finished.

Just to make sure. I'm doing away with all files in the directory. Basically an empty directory except attachments and avatars. I'm not over writing them replacing them. If so will I still be having my forum post history with upgrade.Comment

Correct. Post and user information have not and never have been stored in files.Translations provided by Google.

Still get 404 error using. http://www.yourdomain.com/pathtoforu...ll/upgrade.php also tried http://yourdomain.com/core/install/install.php
Going to website get this.

OK I'm thinking of what might be a problem. I have two licenses, one of which I had my website on in the past with 4.0. Another I had under another domain but switch to be associated with my old website because It was 5.0 license. I think I could have downloaded files from 4.0 license if that is possible and loaded up to directory.
Could this be the problem. If so is there a file I can upload to give it right license or do I have to download the whole file and start over? If that could be problem. Not sure which one I downloaded 5.3 from.Comment

You need to download the correct version for the correct license.
You also need to ensure there are no vB4 files in the folder when you upgrade..MARK.B
