I am upgrading OJS 3.1.1.4 to OJS 3.4.0-5

While setting up (Uploading OJS → Install= Off in the config file) I have getting this error:

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.0.2”.

After upgrading the PHP version to 8.3, I am getting the blank screen while accessing that folder from URL.

Please help me out with this issue.

@asmecher Please look into this.

Hi @loveleentak,

It looks like you solved the first problem (Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version >= 8.0.2) by configuring your server to use a newer PHP.

I am getting the blank screen while accessing that folder from URL.

Check your PHP error log to see if there are details there.
