Use a database viewer, such as DBVisualizer to connect to your current Bitbucket Server database and run the following query:
1
run desc bitbucket_user;This will give an output similar to:
1

mysql> desc bitbucket_user;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| name | varchar(255) | NO | UNI | NULL | |
| slug | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)This will help confirm the table schema for 'bitbucket_user' table.
Cause
If the result of the above query does not match the expected result above but is instead:

mysql> desc bitbucket_user;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| name | varchar(255) | NO | UNI | NULL | |
| slug | varchar(766) | NO | UNI | NULL | |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)it indicates that the above schema is from the Bitbucket Server 2.4 beta, not the final official release. This can happen if Bitbucket Server was upgraded to the 2.4 beta (or attempted to) and then to 2.4 stable release.The schema in 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 is 255 characters for slug - only the beta release used 766.
The Bitbucket Server upgrade task wasn't designed to upgrade from the beta to a final release, so it will take some manual SQL to help resolve it.
Resolution
Run the following query on your Bitbucket Server database:
1
UPDATE DATABASECHANGELOG SET ID = 'BSERVDEV-3734-4', MD5SUM = '3:0915ae71248292c6cc8c73d79b6a5cc4' WHERE ID = 'BSERVDEV-3734-5';and restart Bitbucket Server to complete the upgrade.
