Hi and thanks for your effort to make Mautic always better! I upgraded via the script from Mautic 2.5.1 but get this message: Upgrade: [root@mautic public\_html]# php upgrade.php Checking for new updates…updating to 2.8.1! Extracting the update package…done! Moving files…done! Clearing the cache…done! Rebuilding the cache…done! Applying migrations…failed. Review udpate errors log for details. BUT After Upgrade no upgrade\_error.txt is created If I run the migration before the upgrade: [root@mautic public\_html]# php app/console doctrine:migration:migrate --env=prod ``` Mautic Migrations ``` WARNING!
