I got mysql error about ‘email’ table inexistence

Message: show columns from emails - ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE: Table ‘db_ghost.emails’ doesn’t exist

If i create this table manually and repeat upgrade, i got following error:

Message: backup is not a function
Suggestion: journalctl -u ghost_ghost-somesite-com -n 50
Stack: Error: backup is not a function

at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

I have the same issue. For me the update goes through as if successful, but on ghost start I get the ‘no_such_table emails’ thing.

Similar issue here as well. I’m getting the following:

Message: show columns from emails - ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE: Table ‘ghost_prod.emails’ doesn’t exist
Suggestion: journalctl -u ghost_ericlima-com -n 50

Debug Information:
OS: Ubuntu, v18.04.4 LTS
Node Version: v12.13.0
Ghost Version: 3.5.2
Ghost-CLI Version: 1.13.1
Environment: production
Command: ‘ghost update’

This happens with an update to 3.5.2, too.
Just ran into this issue. And this is my first update of ghost because i am not using it that long time yet.

Message: show columns from emails - ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE: Table ‘ghostcms.emails’ doesn’t exist

Debug Information:
OS: Ubuntu, v18.04.3 LTS
Node Version: v10.18.0
Ghost Version: 3.5.2
Ghost-CLI Version: 1.13.1
Environment: production
Command: ‘ghost start’

EDIT:

I just did a rollback to the old version till this issue is fixed.
Just move to your ghost folder like /var/www/ghost and open your shell:

Backup the old link
cd /var/www/ghost
mv current current_bak

Link to the “old” version. Put your last working version at the end
ln -s /var/www/ghost/current /var/www/ghost/versions/3.2.0

Hey :wave: We have diagnozed the issue and it has been fixed on master as of Fixed failure when upgrading to version 3.5.x · TryGhost/Ghost@2572182 · GitHub

The fix will go out with upcoming 3.6.x version so please upgrade to that version when it’s available. If anybody is in critical need to upgrade to latest features they can temporarily modify their source with the referenced above commit :v:

That’s good news. Thanks for investigating.

I know it’s hard to commit to a firm date since stuff can always happen in development, but do we have an ETA on 3.6.x as long as we promise not to hold you to it :wink:?

We’re aiming to get it out before the weekend.

I am using kubernetes to run ghost with sqlite3 as DB. Until updating to v3.5.2(3.6.), it was running successfully without any problem.

One of my 2 problematic instances has been successfully updated and is running 3.6.0 but the other, while looking like everything went OK and Ghost is running, is giving me 502 error. Ghost log doesn’t have anything useful :frowning:
