Steps to reproduce the behavior:

You followed the upgrade path and didn’t notice that at least one of these upgrades was not successful and threw errors on your console?

Try with zammad run rake db:migrate to re-run database migrations.
While you’re at it, use the following page to ensure you’re using supported dependencies:
https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/prerequisites/software.html

zammad run rake db:migrate tried it but stuck here

My guess would be that you ran into these errors because of not following the upgrade path from major release to major release. I’m not sure what the best way to recover from this would be, but a safe one I could think of is to if you have a backup from before the upgrade:

  • first of all back up everything in it’s current state,
  • downgrade the Zammad package to the old version
  • load the old backup of the old version
  • then upgrade Zammad as per the upgrade path

If you don’t have an old backup, maybe doing that above steps might work still without loading one, albeit I have no idea if there would be issues with that and you definitely shouldn’t try without backing up the current state.

can you pls provide the link to see the downgrade process

even I cant find in a docs official link to upgrade Zammad as per the upgrade path

Downgrades are not supported and may even break things depending on how far OP goes back. This may cause even more serious damage than OP already has.

So as nobody cares to read and interpret error messages.
This is the file that’s failing:

This is the following part that should nuke you.
This means you want to find all Jobs and Triggers which have an empty email body (email notification in action section), note down what they do and then delete them. This should remove the blocking.

As you didn’t upgrade step by step but in bulk, you may run into other issues.
Restoring a backup would be the best option at this point. Maybe this is also a lesson to not wait roughly 3 years with Updates on a system relevant service you run. You have dozens of security issues on the path to 5.2.

Can you pls give me a procedure to install the same version zammad 2.9.0 again because am not able to find any docs for installing the same. then i will restore my backup in the version 2.9.0.

The add repository step here:
https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/install/package.html#add-repository-and-install-zammad

and the information that every version also has a stable candidate on our packager, e.g. in 2.9 as your exact candidate in that case:

should help you through.
If not, please consider getting commercial support.

You burried yourself quite deep which is out of my scope on a community basis, sorry.

Can you pls help to solve this…

this is the log

This is all there’s to say. Zammad provides the exact error message that comes from your email server.
Microsoft has been telling their users for over 2 years that they’re going to cancel basic authentication (username and password). The final deadline was this year with the 1st October.

The only option you have is to switch to the Microsoft 365 channel.
https://admin-docs.zammad.org/en/latest/channels/microsoft365/index.html

I have configured the Microsoft 365 app but am not able to see the migrate now button email channel.

Then please read the documentation closely. The reason is documented.

i have found this

but when i try to change the host it throws login failed error, i used correct username and password.
