Hello,

I have just deploy version 5.2.1 . Since the web interface reported a “MediaWiki internal error. Original exception: […] Fatal exception of type “Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError”, I had a closer look at the messages in the command line and found the following:

…. Table ‘bluespice.wiki\_cron’ doesn’t exist ….

…Table ‘bluespice.processes’ doesn’t exist….

The database bluespice has been created with 58 tables, but at least these two are missing.

How can we solve this?

Thanks for any help or suggestion,

Stefan

Hello Stefan,

one will need to run update.php to finish creation of these tables. For the containerized setup, please go into either the `wiki-web` or the `wiki-task` container, then execute `run-maintenance update.php --quick`. If you are running a BlueSpice farm, please run `php /app/bluespice/w/maintenance/update.php --quick --doshared` instead. Please post here if you run into any unexpected error messages.

Best wishes,  
Hua

Hello Hua,

thanks for the fast response. Executing the command in the wiki-web container did the job, the web ui is now accessible.

Best wishes,

Stefan
