Detailed description of the problem

Hello I tried to upgrade Lychee from 3.1.6 to 3.2.16 using this guide
https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/wiki/Update#update-manually

I keep the old /data and the /uploads directory as is and replace all other files as mentioned, However it asks me to recreate the user. What could be causing this issue?

Browser and system

Chrome - 75.0
Apache -2.2
Mysql - 5.5
Centos -6.4 Final
PHP version -7.1

So long as data/config.php is still intact and readable that shouldn't happen. I'd suggest you check that file is still there and still has the correct values and permissions. I'm assuming you haven't changed/cleared your MySQL database?

Yes the data/config.php file is intact and it does have readable (i.e 644) permission. I kept the old data and uploads directory(of version 3.1.6) as is, and replaced all the other files with latest (3.2.16 version files) as mentioned in the update documentation.

After doing this when I visit the url i.e http://domain.com/lychee, I get the following screen:
test

Also when I check the database after hitting the url , in the {{PREFIX}}lychee_settings table, the hashes of username and password are erased.

What could be the issue?. Could you please try to replicate this at your end?

What happen once you enter a new username and password ? Does it request it again when you log out ?

BTW: php 7.1 is depreciated.

What happen once you enter a new username and password ?

After entering new username and password I am logged into the panel and also it doesn't request for password when logged out.

Then I guess you are fine now ? :p

For upgrade I should be able to login with the previous admin username and password details right?

ildyria commented

True but I guess you are upgrading from a very old version which is from electerious (https://github.com/electerious/Lychee). As a result, there may be some script which reset the login/password.

Also I don't expect any new release of the v3 any time soon (as we are focused on the v4), nor do I expect the migration to the v4 to erase those information again.

Thanks a lot for that information.
