Can anyone help to suggest how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you tell me what version you're upgrading from and to?

Also, what kind of database is this?

Thanks for the response Christian, I'm upgrading from 3.0.20 to 5.0.7. And I'm using postgres database.

Hi Sai,

Review Board 5 is no longer supported outside of a support contract. If you need to be on that version, I can reach out about what we offer under a contract and how we can help get this sorted (it’ll involve custom backports to that release).

There have been many fixes and improvements to the upgrade process since Review Board 5, and that specific issue (upgrading from a 3-era database) has specifically seen fixes.

My recommendation would be to upgrade to Review Board 7 instead. That’ll have the best chance of working, access to bug and security fixes, and many improvements over 5.
