Hello, I don't think it a good idea to use the upgrade feature. Last version of web2py is 2.4.6 and 1.99.4 is pretty old and the upgrade feature may be buggy. Also consider that you may or may not need to update python interpreter in order to use web2py 2.4.6 to access new feature in this version.
At least I hope you have make a backup... What I usually do to upgrade is to download new web2py and copy my app in the new version web2py beside the older web2py in developpement environnement... Patch my app to make it works under the new version when needed and then deploy on prod system the whole thing (new web2py and refactor app), you may have to install new dependencies on you prod server. Before update prod, I create a archive recursively on web2py folder that is generally in /home/www-data/web2py... Hope it helps.
