well, I tried that and I got the same issue. I kept the old database and the old config file. No luck.

Keep getting Down for Maintenance (Err 2) An upgrade is currently in progress... Please come back soon. Currently running a leased version of v5.3.14. Seems to be timing out. Tried expanding the php timeout, but that doesn't help. Using Softaculous to perform the ugrade. Yes, keeping backups first.
