From the upgrade instructions "The installer will either create a new config file or show you the contents to paste into a file manually. As soon as your new config file is created and validated by the installer, you should be redirected to your bbPress front page."
This did not occur. It continued as new. I tried a third time with a fresh upload.
The errors at the top of the page I neglected to include in the first post:
bbPress database error: [Table 'headonra_forum.bb_users' doesn't exist]
