exp_cookie_settings error on update

Question

I'm updating manually from EE 3.5.10 to EE 6. When I try to load admin.php in my browser to start the update I get the following error:

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'db196778_nape.exp_cookie_settings' doesn't exist: SELECT CookieSetting_cookie_settings.cookie_id as CookieSetting__cookie_id, CookieSetting_cookie_settings.cookie_provider as CookieSetting__cookie_provider, CookieSetting_cookie_settings.cookie_name as CookieSetting__cookie_name FROM (exp_cookie_settings as CookieSetting_cookie_settings) WHERE ( CookieSetting_cookie_settings.cookie_provider IN ('ee', 'cp') ) LIMIT 18446744073709551615

exp_cookie_settings does not exist in the database to begin with under EE 3.5.10 so I'm not sure why the updater is looking for that table.

Any ideas how I can get this update working? Thanks.

Answer 1

Figured it out. For some reason, my ee folder was missing the installer folder. Once I replaced it, the installer worked.

Answer 2

Do you have a .env.php file? If so, make sure that you have the install mode set to true: putenv('EE_INSTALL_MODE=TRUE');
