Cant upgrade my ojs 3.0.2.0 to 3.2.1.1

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.

articles_migration
article_files_migration
article_galley_settings
article_supplementary_files
article_supp_file_settings
books_for_review
books_for_review_authors
books_for_review_settings
captchas
comments
dataverse_files
dataverse_studies
edit_assignments
external_feeds
external_feed_settings
groups
group_memberships
group_settings
objects_for_review
object_for_review_assignments
object_for_review_persons
object_for_review_settings
pln_deposits
pln_deposit_objects
referrals
referral_settings
review_object_metadata
review_object_metadata_settings
review_object_types
review_object_type_settings
roles
signoffs
submissions_tmp
submission_xml_galleys
theses

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:

  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.

Regards

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.
Regards

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.

Hi @masoume_tm,

For the error message:

This is the same issue as above, except this time with the component called “Image”, having a key of IMAGE.

Regards,

Hi @masoume_tm,

Regarding the Unable to move messages, these are not preventing the upgrade from continuing, but indicate that an upload is not present where it’s expected to be in your files_dir. The most common cause for this is a files_dir that doesn’t correspond with the right version of OMP, i.e. it’s already been run through an upgrade and so the files are not where they’re expected to be.

Dear asmecher
Thank you for your sincere and helpful cooperation :pray:
I finally upgraded the website successfully,
but I have lots of ojs2: 404 Not Found error on my error log.
Does it cause a problem?

Hi @masoume_tm,

Congratulations, that’s a big step! I’d suggest checking your access log to see what URLs the 404 errors are coming from.

Hi @masoume_tm,

The 404 responses are for URLs of the form .../index.php/mySite/article/cite/xyz/SomeCitationFormat, which is where OJS used to provide “how to cite” information for each article. This has been moved to a new URL format. The requests you’re seeing are for bots; they’ll gradually re-index your site and find URLs of the new form. These are not crucial URLs from an indexing or SEO perspective; those have been either maintained or use 301 redirects to update search engines.

Thanks for your quick response, This means that I do not need to take action and ignore this messages.

Same here, thousands of these errors in upgrade log. How we fix it because theses are causing a further error: Upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.3 can fail if submission files are missing · Issue #7643 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

Any help will be appreciated.
