You can do it as one action.To upgrade an existing XenForo installation, you will need to extract the zip and upload all files within the upload directory to your existing XenForo Directory, overwriting all files.

If i try to go to the manual upgrade option I get:

you dont upload the actual upload folder. you upload its contents.Well, I did upload the "upload folder" once that was complete I went to the my browser and input the my url with upload/install/. I got a message saying I was up to date with version 5. I haven't a clue what I did wrong..... sigh......
That (along with the other error) indicates your config.php file is missing.I don't know what I keep on doing wrong here on the upgrade. I always download the upgrade package from the customer area and overwrite all the files and I keep the existing data/ and internal_data/ with the install-lock.php in place but when I go to the browser and try to upgrade it only gives me the install option. It happens every time I try to upgrade.
What am I possibly doing wrong here?

Sounds like you uploaded the Beta 5 folder.
Go to the customer section, download the Beta 6 upgrade package.
Unzip it, FTP it to your server and browse to /install once all the files are transferred.
Literally that's all you need to do.
Are you actually overwriting the files?
Are you sure you're copying them to the correct location?
It works like this:I use CORE FTP and I move the files over to the server. I am never asked if i want to overwrite duplicate files. I believe I am in the right area. the folders i see where i place the beta 6 files include public_html, public_ftp, etc. should i put it in the file folder labled www? I looked in there and saw an install folder from 1/2/2011, that happens to be when I originally uploaded beta 5.
It works like this:
/home directory which will have things like public_html, www, public_ftp
/home/public_html - is where your url should point to. So if your site name is www.craig.com - that url would go to that directory.
So if you want www.craig.com to be where your xf forum is, put the contents of the upload folder into the public_html directory.
