This issue looks similar to Upgrade Zammad 6.0 to 6.1 failed

Extra information that was missing.
/opt/zammad/config/database.yml

production:
adapter: postgresql
database: zammad
pool: 50
timeout: 5000
encoding: utf8
username: zammad
password: xxxxx

Did anyone else had this issue upgrading to v6.3.1 please?

I have the exact same issue, on AlmaLinux 8.10

Running transaction

pg_isready is working outside of the script as well:

 pg_isready
/run/postgresql:5432 - accepting connections

database.yml


production:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: zammad
  pool: 50
  timeout: 5000

Also running PostgreSQL 14.12.

For now I’ve reverted back to a snapshot before the update, installed all updates except Zammad and everything works.

That path looks troubling.
The postinstall script (which is responsible for checking if database is there and then run the migrations etc) is using this path:
PATH=/opt/zammad/bin:/opt/zammad/vendor/bundle/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:

Officially Rocky and AlmaLinux are not on our supported distribution list (Software — Zammad System Documentation documentation). So in that case you’re technically required to ensure to pick the fitting package version to your distribution and hope it works.

Are these postgresql servers from the default repositories of your distribution or a thirdparty one?

Default repo. I didn’t add anything when installing Zammad.

pgdg-redhat-all.repo
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch

Thanks for the tip. I have added a symlink and now the installation went through:

sudo ln -s /usr/pgsql-14/bin/pg_isready /usr/bin/pg_isready

I removed it to avoid potential conflicts

sudo /usr/bin/pg_isready

Thanks, this also worked for me. Though your last command should be:
sudo rm /usr/bin/pg_isready
