my name is Aleksandar and I am currently at the position of a Technical Editor of the Electronics Journal published by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Banja Luka.
We would like to upgrade our journal by migrating to OJS.
I am trying to run a local version (for now) of the OJS. The OS is Linux Mint 18 and I installed a Lamp Server, which includes Apache, PHP and MySQL - all versions are satisfying OJS 3.0.2 requirements.
However, after unarchiving ojs.3.0.2.tar.gz to:
/var/www/html/ojs
I am not able to access the installation page. Namely, I only get a blank white page in my browser when I try to go for:
localhost/ojs/
The permissions are set as advised in the ojs/docs/README file.
Both Apache and MySQL services have been restarted. In the moment of desperation I even restarted the machine - to no effect, unfortunately.
Kindly provide any idea what might be causing such behaviour.
On Linux, either /var/log/httpd/error_log or /var/log/apache2/error.log. It depends your Linux distro.
And these files are owned by root, so you need to be root or use sudo to see it, or read it.
Example command: $ sudo vi /var/log/httpd/error_log
