Hi @Umadhar,
It’s session_cookie_path, not session.cookie_path.

Hi @asmecher,
Yes, it was my typo, I made changes to session.cookie_path. only.
Any other valuable suggestions? What about on the dedicated IP address to access directly?
I am going to do new installation of the OJS 2.4.7-1 to see if there is any reverse proxy issue to see how it works and come back, So that we can nail this down.
Thanks you and have a good night.
Hi @Umadhar,
You wrote session.cookie_path again – I mean the session_cookie_path setting in your config.inc.php.

Hi @asmecher,
Again Typo :(, I did not find session_cookie_path in the config.inc.php, we have only the session_cookie_name. Did you mean shall i set the session_cookie_path explicitly in the config.inc.php?
Even in the SessionManager.inc.php file, we have the following session parameters:
// Configure PHP session parameters
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');
ini_set('session.serialize_handler', 'php');
ini_set('session.use_cookies', 1);
ini_set('session.name', Config::getVar('general', 'session_cookie_name')); // Cookie name
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);
ini_set('session.cookie_path', $request->getBasePath() . '/');
ini_set('session.cookie_domain', $request->getServerHost(null, false));
ini_set('session.gc_probability', 1);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 60);
ini_set('session.auto_start', 1);
ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'none');
So in the above, do we need to something for the session.cookie_path also?
Hi @gbcriado,
Look in config.TEMPLATE.inc.php for an example of how your session_cookie_path should be configured. If it’s not in your config.inc.php, perhaps that’s because you’re using a configuration file from an older release of OJS?

How are you?
Yes, i am using the old OJS 2.4.7-1 version, and i found the session_cookie_path in the OJS3 version, I will try out this option today and come back.
I tried seperately and i do not see the duplicate Sessions_Pkey issue but i am having a different issue as following, Could you please trace this out please:
(mysql): SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE session_id = ‘k7uhsgl1sudsp6c24j0o1d56q3’
(mysql): SELECT * FROM site
(mysql): SELECT v.* FROM versions v LEFT JOIN plugin_settings ps ON lower(v.product_class_name) = ps.plugin_name AND ps.setting_name = ‘enabled’ AND ((journal_id = 0) OR v.sitewide = 1) WHERE v.current = 1 AND (ps.setting_value = ‘1’ OR v.lazy_load <> 1)

Hi @Umadhar,
Ah, unfortunately the session_cookie_path option will not work in OJS 2.4.7-1.
Can you clarify what version of OJS you’re using on this second installation?

Hi @asmecher,
Yes, thats why i did not find the session_cookie_path in the OJS 2.4.7-1 .
For the 2nd installation also i am trying with the OJS 2.4.7-1 as i am afraid of upgrade how many issues i need to face and the problem is not solving hence not going for the upgrade.
What could be the issue for the following Fatal Error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on null in C:\xampp\htdocs\ojs2\plugins\generic\customLocale\CustomLocalePlugin.inc.php on line 28
Hi @Umadhar,
Your version of plugins/generic/customLocale/CustomLocalePlugin.inc.php seems to be different from the version included with OJS 2.4.7-1. Is it possible that you’re mixing files from different versions?

Hi @asmecher,
I did not mix anything except the public/ and files/ folder, and Just the DB. …

Not sure what the application is expecting here to be set.
Hi @Umadhar,
What is on line 26 in plugins\generic\customLocale\CustomLocalePlugin.inc.php?
Regards,
Alec Smecher
Public Knowledge Project Team
Hi @asmecher,
at 26th Line: $journalId = $journal->getId();
Here is that function code:
function register($category, $path) {
if (parent::register($category, $path)) {
if ($this->getEnabled()) {
// Add custom locale data for already registered locale files.
$locale = AppLocale::getLocale();
$localeFiles = AppLocale::getLocaleFiles($locale);
$journal = Request::getJournal();
$journalId = $journal->getId();
$publicFilesDir = Config::getVar('files', 'public_files_dir');
$customLocalePathBase = $publicFilesDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'journals' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $journalId . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . CUSTOM_LOCALE_DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $locale . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
import('lib.pkp.classes.file.FileManager');
$fileManager = new FileManager();
foreach ($localeFiles as $localeFile) {
$customLocalePath = $customLocalePathBase . $localeFile->getFilename();
if ($fileManager->fileExists($customLocalePath)) {
AppLocale::registerLocaleFile($locale, $customLocalePath, true);
}
}
// Add custom locale data for all locale files registered after this plugin
HookRegistry::register('PKPLocale::registerLocaleFile', array(&$this, 'addCustomLocale'));
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
What could be the issue?
Hi @Umadhar,
I’m afraid this isn’t making much sense to me – your installation is an old, stable version of OJS and it’s now showing two errors that I haven’t seen before. Either something is unusual about your server environment, or something is unusual in the way you’ve installed OJS. Is it possible for you to try on another server environment with a fresh installation?

Hope you are doing good.
Sorry for not responding till now, i did a try in my local and with new hosting, The issue was gone and it did not show up, As you mentioned earlier, it is with the hosting issue only not sure how, i could not figure it out as i have taken long time to set it up.
I would like to thank you for your continued observation and guidance on this without giving up any point of time.
I will start upgrading to the newer versions soon but i am afraid how many issues i will come across with that activity which i need to do for 3 journal systems. If i come across any issues i will be coming to you again 
Thanks again.

Hi @P_Muhammed,
This is a question for your service provider – it’s not really related to OJS. You might be able to find some useful information on StackOverflow.com.

MY OJS Version is 2.4.5.0.Please Help in this problem
Hi @Sanjeev_Kumar,
I would suggest upgrading if possible – OJS 2.4.5 is by now quite old.
Check further up in your log file to see if there are any more entries from the same time; there might be something else that helps narrow down where the session was created.
