Can't Upgrade due to login issue

[thefeeder]

I'm trying to conduct a Community upgrade but I cannot login to the CP Admin

When I enter my login credentials, I receive this error:

When I click "Send anyway" I am redirected back to the login screen.

It appears that the login might be processing correctly, because I received an alert that I was signing in from a new device via email (I tried logging in from different browsers on different devices to see if that would rectify the issue, which it didn't)

and yes the login interface is rendered under an https instance.

If your site supports SSL, edit your conf_global.php to have your board URL have https instead of http.

Thank you sir, that resolved it.

OK new issue.  I tried to initiate the upgrade, but it's failing.  

I downloaded the upgrade files to my server (into a subdomain to house the zip file).  

When I try to run the upgrade it, but get this error (https://www.letsgosharks.com/forums/admin/upgrade/?controller=license&key=***)

Do I need to export the files, then copy them to a specific folder?

That screenshot doesn't help much, unfortunately. Check your server error logs to find out what exactly that 500 error really is.

You need to overwrite your current forum files/folders with those from the latest Ipb package.
