Hi, I have the same issue (migrate from 6.7.7 to 7.9.1 on a centos 7.6 with postgre) I have to upgrade the database by http://sonarque\_ip/setup, but the service always restart after database error… so i can’t access to http… Is there an another way to upgrade the database? 2019.07.18 11:58:19 WARN app[startup] ################################################################################ The database must be manually upgraded.
