What is "post update version" again?


!Friendica Admins I have updated my Friendica to the 2024.03 and I have "The database version is 1557/1557, the post update version is 1507/1550." - I wonder what is the post update version in this case and will it take a while to update?

Can this be the reason why I cannot follow some accounts. Like this mastodon.online/@readeck - fails with a blank page redirecting to social.trom.tf/contact/follow?…

It does work to follow others from the same server and overall seems like Friendica is working well.

I am also getting this whenever I unfollow a contact:


Exception thrown in /var/www/friendica/src/Module/Contact/Profile.php:154

@Tio The database version is the schema version, or the structure of the data. Sometimes, when we update the structure, we have to update the existing data that doesn’t match the new structure. This is done during the post update. If the current post update number doesn’t match the database version, this means you’re missed at least one data migration routine.

They are normally ran automatically but you can try to apply them manually with a console command. @Michael Vogel would have more details.

Thanks a lot for the explanation! Will wait for @Michael Vogel to reply. Do you think the errors I am seeing could be due to the post update not being fully done?

Well that was handy. Thanks. Sorry I didn't realize all is there. Will try to remember it next time ;)
