Issue

  • The following error is thrown in the log after my latest deployment:
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Current portal schema version 26.4.0 requires a newer version of Liferay

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4
  • Liferay PaaS

Resolution

  • This error is related to the database. This frequently happens when a database has data from a higher Liferay version and you attempt to connect the same database to a lower Liferay version. In this scenario, Liferay was previously running with a higher version, however, for build-xyz, the Liferay version is lowered. Please make sure to use a higher Liferay version or the version that you used in your last successful deployment.
