Hi @zbigniew

OJS 2.4.3 is a little bit old and your server configuration might not be compatible with that version.

System Requirements

Recommended server requirements:

  • PHP >= 4.2.x (including PHP 5.x); Microsoft IIS requires PHP 5.x
  • MySQL >= 4.1 or PostgreSQL >= 8.0
    (including PostgreSQL 8.x)
  • Apache >= 1.3.2x or >= 2.0.4x or Microsoft IIS 6
  • Operating system: Any OS that supports the above software, including
    Linux, BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows

Can we make some checks to understand the origin of the problem?

  1. Could you check which version of PHP is active for your web documents? php 5.x or php 7.x
  2. Could you check which version of sql server is active for your web?
  3. Could you check which version of Apache or Nginx is active for your web documents?
  4. Are there any restrictions on php execution, does php work on safe mode?
