While upgrading Confluence Server from version 6.14.0 to 6.15.10 the upgrade returned "You can't use the upgrader to downgrade Confluence."
Hi Charles,
Lets first verify what version the database thinks you are running. Can you run the below on the DB:
SELECT TOP 1 BUILDNUMBER FROM CONFVERSION ORDER BY INSTALLDATE DESC;
We can correlate that build number to a version on here - https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-build-information/?_ga=2.18022522.250371922.1591001904-973955557.1568640194

Build number in the confluence database is 8401 which correlates to v7.2 - 7.4. The web page lists v6.14.0 though at the bottom of the page. I think someone may have tried to upgrade to 7.3 and failed. I will check. Thanks.
Would it be feasible to just change the BUILDNUMBER in the table 7901 (for 6.14.0) or should we just do a ZIP install?
Changing the BUILDNUMBER wouldn't work as the database schema has upgraded to 7.3
Few key questions before we decide how to proceed:
- Do you have a database backup taken before the upgrade?
- If you don't have a database backup, do you have XML backups in your confluence home directory usually these are located under <confluence-home-directory>/backup and are enabled by default when installing confluence
- Is this the production confluence instance which is now down? Or test environment?
- Do you still want to get to 6.15.10 or can this be upgraded to 7.3.x?
