Updating Your SMF Installation!
The directory: /home/smf2/public_html/avs has to be writable to continue the upgrade. Please make sure permissions are correctly set to allow this.

500 errors are server side errors. Please include the actual error from your server's errorlog.
However, the other error suggests that you have a permissions problem.

Since the avs dictory is not a default one,
i had to ask what is in there?
I'm pretty sure it's the old custom avatar directory.
I think old documentation used that as an example for setting up a custom avatar folder. My forum was configured that way as well.
Inside are images I think there has to be with mod oats media, even though I already removed the folder it continues to give the same error
The /avs folder almost certainly contains avatars uploaded by forum members.
In 2.0, this was a user-named folder, but in the examples provided, the name /avs was used, and many folks just used that name. (Look at recommendation #1 here:
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=293441.0)
In short, folks have a user-named folder in 2.0 for custom avatars, often /avs. This corresponds to the /custom_avatar folder in 2.1.
Since that folder is identified in your configuration, under Attachments & Avatars, it must be present and writable or the upgrade cannot work.
I am not sure why it is not found, but I have a suggestion: I suggest utilizing repair_settings.php, and carefully scrutinizing the folder name vs the recommended name. Maybe there is a trailing space? If all else fails, use the repair_settings.php recommendation for that folder and I suspect things will start working.
yes iam check now with repair_settings.php
i see that path...http://demo.myaplic.co.mz/smf2/avs
and Recommended value: "http://demo.myaplic.co.mz/smf2/custom_avatar".
/home/demo/smf2/public_html/avs
Recommended value: "/home/myaplico/public_html/demo/smf2/custom_avatar".
something's wrong here....
does /home/demo/smf2/public_html/avs exist on your server?
Yes
now Done
Thank you
