This page is part of the Confluence Upgrade Guide.

The Upgrade Guide provides instructions for a standard upgrade, but it's not possible to cover all the variations of installation sizes and versions. If this page does not provide you with a solution for your particular circumstances, please raise a support ticket for help with your upgrade.

Here are some problems that customers have encountered, and the solutions:

  • Problem: If you are upgrading from a Confluence version prior to 2.6, you may see an error message such as: Table 'confluence.bandana' doesn't exist.
    • Workaround: You may need to upgrade to Confluence version 2.5 first before upgrading to the latest version.
    • Explanation: Refer to CONF-9959. The problem occurs when the Confluence license has expired and the confluence.bandana table is missing from the database. If you upgrade to Confluence 2.5 first, this will create the missing table. Then you can upgrade to the later version.
    • Fix: This problem was fixed in Confluence 2.7.2.
  • Problem: If you are upgrading from a Confluence version 2.2.x or earlier to the latest version of Confluence, you may see an error message such as: Upgrade failed: com.atlassian.confluence.extra.leftnavigation.LeftNavSettings.
    • Workaround: You may need to upgrade to Confluence version 2.5 first, before upgrading to the latest version.
    • Explanation: Refer to CONF-11767.
    • Fix: Check CONF-11767 for more updates.
