2.4.x is not able to use any 2.3.x config(s) at all.

You must first migrate to the new 2.4.x config format (following the
update guide) before attempting to use 2.4.

What I did was left production server alone, and built the new 2.4
configs on a develop machine to minimize production downtime.

good luck
