    unable to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 5.1.3

    Hello,

    i was trying to upgrade my system from version 4.2.2 to version 5.1.3. I came across with and issue and the support team doesn't seem to help me through support tickets at all...
    First, i moved all the old fiels to /public_html/OLD_forum
    Then, i uploaded all the contents of /uplaod/ to public_html (deleted the install.php file)
    3. I entered an upgrade script (public_html/core/install/upgrade.php)
    4. I entered my customer id and password and it redirected me to the configuration settings sheet (does it really have to happen? i mean, if i upgrade, do i need to enter my config data again..?)
    5. After i finished configuration settings, it asked me if i want to automatically remove makeconfig.php. I tried to do that, but then got an error that the system is unable to remove the file (some kind of and unlink error or something...). Then i removed the makecinfig.php file manualy and entered public_html/core/install/).
    6. Everyting seemed to be ok, so i clicked on "Start upgrade".
    7. I got stuck on step 142 (Status: Processing 5.0.0 Alpha 1, Step 142 of 166). I tried to refresh, but no luck.
    8. I also received two emails:

    I tried to do it two times now and don't want to give another shot because each time i fail to upgrade my system, i have to contact my hosting provider to restore my previous version of the website (from my backup).

    Any suggestions?
