I need help with updating 7.2 to 7.4

I tried putting the site in maintenance mode, replacing the files with the new ones from the 7.4 archive and ran update.php. But update.php always says, that there are no updates pending and the version still is 7.2.

How do I perform that update?

Edit:
Ok, I solved it, seems that I was too stupid to correctly overwrite the files from the shell

Sorry, I don't understand your solution.

threadstarter complains that folders cannot be copied. in most cases it has to do with chmod and chown settings of the folders. for copying or overwriting folders you or the shell command tool need the ftp user rights set up (chown) and the folders and files in them need to be set up to be editable by FTP user. (rights management)

My solution turned out to be in safe mode php configuration on the plesk/linux vps
