Redmine

I duplicated the bug #8521 because I have the same exact issue but from 1.1.2 and the "solution" given in the feedback (repeating upgrade steps) did not work for me.

Got this error undefined method `<<' for nil:NilClass after during database upgrade with the command: rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

@$ rake --trace db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
