3.2.2 >>> 3.2.4 is an update, not an upgrade.

There's conflicing information regarding extensions ? But it's good that you disabled extensions before updating!

The major error was to use the autoupdate. The autoupdate depends too much on write permissions on the host and can also suffer from timeouts.
For a simple update, the changed files package or the full package are the best ways to proceed.
The best thing to do is to use the full package. Read the instructions and follow these to the letter. In the cache directory, delete the installer and production directories, if present. In the store directory, delete io_lock.lock + any migrationsXXX files, if present.

Then go to install/app.php and use update database only.
After the succesful update, check if there are new versions for your extensions (might not be necessary)

I'm not getting the update the database only option with the changed files

Revert to your starting point using your backups and then follow this - https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ating-32x/

Full package is the way to go in case of errors (you don't know what has been changed, added, removed).
Show a printscreen of what you are getting. IIRC you should be able to select update, then database only.

I'm starting over. I restored my files and database. I'll try it again and see what happens.

I ended up using the full package to make the update work. Thanks for the help!
