Cant upgrade my ojs 3.0.2.0 to 3.2.1.1

Software Support
1

I tried to upgrade my ojs from 3.0.2.0 to 3.2.1.1, but I could not and faced 500 error, I finally restore my backup and my site work fine with previous version (my current version still is 3.0.2.0).

is it possible to update my ojs from 3.0.2.0 to 3.2.1.1 directly?

It does not work for me because my 3.0.2.0 ojs website does not work with php 7 and above (my current php version is 5.6) and you know that the latest version of ojs works with php 7 and above so I cant directly install it from 3.0.2 to 3.2.1 because of php version , I should mention that I change my drive at confige.inc.php to mysqli and it does not work yet.

Hi @masoume_tm,

It should be possible to upgrade directly from 3.0.2-0 to 3.2.1-1. You can run the OJS 3.2.1-1 upgrade script using PHP7 and it’ll convert your database without needing PHP5.6. Can you check your PHP error log for specifics? The 500 error should result in details being recorded there.

dear asmecher,
Finally, the current version of my ojs (3.0.2.0) worked with php version 7.2.
But when I tried to update it to the latest version, I got the following error.

I saw in other topics in forum that you wrote this error occurs when I had a failed upgrade before this upgrade. But I should mention that after a failed upgrade last month, I managed to restore the backup which I took before any upgrading. And after that my site worked properlytill now and today when I tried to upgrade my OJS site, I did not have any unsuccessful upgrade and it was my first attempt.

I should mention that there was no error on my error log till upgrading except this one.

Your cooperation will make me grateful.

Hi @masoume_tm,

When you restored from backup, did you also DROP and then CREATE your database? If not, and you just re-loaded the dump over top of the existing database, then there are likely database tables left in place from the upgrade process. These will interfere.

Thanks,
no I didn’t drop and create new one.

What can I do now for upgrading my website successfuly?
Drop database, creat new one and export my previous database? but if my previous one contain that submission gallary ehat can I do?

Because my database in first attempt of upgrading show such error message.

How can I upgrade my website now?

Regards

Hi @masoume_tm,

Do you still have your 3.0.2-0 database dump? If so, you could check your database to see which tables are present in production that aren’t present in the dump. That should suggest which should be dropped (you can post the list here for a second opinion before dropping anything).

Hi @masoume_tm,

Unfortuantely I don’t have a database dump from OJS 3.0.2 to compare this against. One way to get that would be to make a fresh install of that version in a different database, then compare the two lists.

then after compering, only droping tables which are not exist in that fresh install is enough?

Hi @masoume_tm,

That’s the idea – but I’d recommend checking back here to make sure. And of course please take good backups before doing any of this.

I installed a new ojs 3.0.2 and I find below tables (112 table but I have 147 table on my database), But what was interesting to me is that the error I encounter when upgrading my journal site is Table ‘submission_galley_settings’ already exists, as you can see, this table also exists in the original database version 3.0.2.
What is the reason? And what should I do now? What is your suggestion?

Hi @masoume_tm,

The problem with submission_galley_settings could be caused by the presence of another table that shouldn’t be there.

Hi, thanks.
Additional tables in my database compared to the main tables of the current versionof my ojs (3.0.2.0) are the following 35 tables, in your opinion, droping these 35 tables will solve the problem of updating the site? I will definitely make a backup before dropping the tables.

Hi @masoume_tm,

These tables break into several categories:

  • Tables belonging to OJS 2.x plugins – these probably won’t cause problems:
    • books_for_review
    • books_for_review_authors
    • books_for_review_settings
    • dataverse_files
    • dataverse_studies
    • objects_for_review
    • object_for_review_assignments
    • object_for_review_persons
    • object_for_review_settings
    • pln_deposits
    • pln_deposit_objects
    • external_feeds
    • external_feed_settings
    • review_object_metadata
    • review_object_metadata_settings
    • review_object_types
    • review_object_type_settings
    • theses
    • submission_xml_galleys
    • referrals
    • referral_settings
  • Tables that appear to be from OJS 2.x and should be removed:
    • captchas
    • groups
    • group_memberships
    • group_settings
    • roles
    • signoffs
    • edit_assignments
    • article_galley_settings
    • comments
    • article_supplementary_files
    • article_supp_file_settings
  • Tables that appear to be left over from a failed upgrade – these should be removed:
    • articles_migration
    • article_files_migration
    • submissions_tmp

Please do keep a copy of anything that you remove, just in case.

Thanks very much, I did this and was finally able to update the site but:

  1. The submission section of the site does not work and the following error is displayed in the php error Log:

[18-Nov-2020 17:03:11 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getData() on null in /home/public_html/jivr/lib/pkp/classes/submission/PKPSubmission.inc.php:54

  1. In the site archive, only the title of the archive is included and there is no news of articles anywhere on the site
  2. Although the site has been updated to version 3.2.1.1, but in system info it shows the site version 3.0.2.0.

Hi @masoume_tm,

Looking at:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getData() on null in /home/public_html/jivr/lib/pkp/classes/submission/PKPSubmission.inc.php:54


and


Although the site has been updated to version 3.2.1.1, but in system info it shows the site version 3.0.2.0.


and the presence of articles_migration, article_files_migration, submissions_tmp in your backup, I don’t think the upgrade process wasn’t completed successfully. When you ran the upgrade process, you either received a confirmation message that the upgrade was successful, or an error message indicating failure. The above details confirm that it was a failure. Do you know what the error message was?

Hi, as you can see it does not have a key field.

Hi @masoume_tm,

Hmm, it looks like OJS 3.0.2-0 is too old to allow editing the key field through the user interface (it was added with this issue. If you’re handy with databases, the best thing to do might be to create the “HTML Stylesheet” component, if it doesn’t already exist, then manually edit the key field in the genres table for the new entry and set it to STYLE.
