There is a mismatch between the application version being used to start Bitbucket Server and the database. Most likely, a newer version of Bitbucket Server was started which was pointed at this database and ran the needed database upgrade tasks. This can result in various columns being dropped from the database. Alternatively, it's possible that an older version of Bitbucket Server has accidentally been started.
Resolution
If an older version of Bitbucket Server has accidentally be started, locate and start the newest version of Bitbucket Server installed on the server.
If the database was unintentionally upgraded to a newer version of Bitbucket Server, there are two paths forward:
- Restore a backup of both the filesystem and database according to Data recovery and backups to a time before the upgrade
- Perform the full upgrade to the latest version of Bitbucket Server that has been connected to the database
If you cannot get Bitbucket Server to start open a support request at https://support.atlassian.com and provide a dump of the databasechangelog table which Support will use to identify the correct version.
