Topic on Project:Support desk
Why would you go from an old unsupported insecure version (1.23) to an old unsupported insecure version (1.30) instead of using a supported and maintained version? Also, why can you not log in?
Perhaps I am jumping to far ahead - we are on 1.23 and php 5.4.23 and MySQL 56 - I want to go to MW 1.35 PHP 7.4 and mysqL56 - can I do this in one go. I have tried about 10 times now I can get to MW1.30 PHP 7.1.329 - I'm missing something - do I need upgrade in steps or go straight.
We are on Windows 2016 and IIS - I am no php expert - its driving me mad - - been at this a week -
I think he's asking why he can't log in - I suppose you're asking what error messages he sees :-)
Might it be relevant that MW 1.30 isn't listed as compatible with PHP 7.3 in Compatibility? Also the supported MySQL version changed in MW 1.30.
Following Manual:How_to_debug#Logging might help in uncovering a more detailed reason behind an error.

I think the general answer is to do it in one go, having backed up and checked version compatibility, but don’t sue me if it goes wrong :-)
Back it up slap the new version over the top - and then change PHP in IIS to new version ?
go Here and you'll see that php 7.4 to 7.4.2 is not supported maybe that will help
