Hello,

after updating to version v21.08.5, I get the following error message when logging in: "An unknown error occurred"
If I confirm the error message, I am logged in an everything ist fine. I get the same error when I make a change to a user profile.

I use LDAP for authentication and the server is running Ubuntu 20.04.3 including all available updates.

Thanks for your help

The "ip" column is missing in the "activities" table of the "bookstack" database. After I added this manually, the login works without any errors.
Did I do something wrong with the update?

Hi @ADMDW,

Changing the database manually will likely cause you problems during future updates.

Did I do something wrong with the update?

I would assume that either the php artisan migrate step was not ran or there was an error upon running that step. This command would have updated the database to match the updated code-base.

I would assume that either the `php artisan migrate` step was not ran or there was an error upon running that step. This command would have updated the database to match the updated code-base.

it was just the test system ;)

I ran the update again and started the command "php artisan migrate" separately after the command "git pull origin release && composer install --no-dev".
That was the mistake - now everything works fine.

Many many thanks
