I try and all screw-up. I install the new version now and i want to know if it's possible. I didn't know that Xenforo is so complicated!

No, It's Not
You can Flow The steps in the Manual

Install or upgrade? | XenForo

If you are not yet running XenForo and want to deploy the self-hosted software to your server, you need to install it.

xenforo.com

I think Is not Possible to Import From 1.5.x to 2.2.x so you must Upgrade From 1.5 to 2.2

PM: if you want I do it for you

That's not necessary - any version can be upgraded directly to any later version.

I try to upgrade but without success.

What was the issue/error?

That sounds like missing files.

Try uploading the files again.

If you have cPanel, upload the zip archive and extract on the server - it's the quickest method and least prone to errors.

Can i import users and threads on fresh Xenforo installation?

 

[Paul B]

Not from 1.5 to 2.2.

Resolving the upgrade issue rather than doing a new installation and import would be the recommended path.

I have this error
[15-Mar-2021 16:05:15 UTC] PHP Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in /home/website/public_html/forum/library/XenForo/Locale.php on line 201

That's an issue related to attempting to run a version of XF on a PHP version (7.x) which it is not compatible with.

When upgrading an XF1 installation to XF2, the steps are as follows:

• uninstall any add-ons which won't be used in XF2 (e.g. there is no equivalent version and it's never going to be upgraded)
• upgrade the server to a minimum PHP version of 7.0
• upload the XF2 files to the server
• run the upgrade script

That's all that is required.
