Yeah, I stumbled upon the same issue. Executing the update again, creates the new piwik_brute_force_log table. Console shows: Everything is already up to date.
I am not really sure wether the 3.8.0 update has been completed successfully, though? Do we have to apply additional changes manually? Do we need to restore from backup?
After running the database update, everything should work fine. It seems like the application is trying to access the table before the database update happens. That’s why it’s throwing this error.
After clicking “back to matomo” the Dashboard instructed me me that a database table update was needed, even though I’m pretty sure I read in the changelog, that an database updates was not needed.
After that bit bumpy experience, matamo 3.8 seems to be working - but I’d rather be without the error message.
Just click on “Back to Matomo” at the bottom and you will be redirected to the page informing you about the database update to be done. There you click on the “Update Matomo” button at the bottom and you are done. At least this is what worked for me.
This isn’t working for me for some reason. I was able to do the database update, but now I can’t log in. (“Error: Form security failed.”) I’ve deleted cookies. “console core:update” says “Everything is already up to date.”
I just tried it in a different browser and it worked, so I guess it was some kind of cookie/client-side storage issue (even though I cleared all that). Very strange, but resolved.
Had the same issues (said error after the update, then couldn’t log in). Logging in on a different browser and clearing cache an cookies in my standard browser worked then.
Today I received some survey about self-hosted matomo and they asked about most pain or fear.
I wrote that MOST I fear when there is new update, because I lost matomo analytics data few years ago - when upgraded to next major.
