See the thread [OJS] Errors after updating to 2.4.6 for a previous discussion and solution.

Hi, I have OJS running in a CPANEL environment and cannot run scripts to patch OJS. Can this patch be installed in any other way?

The critical change is to remove the “true” value from the strict parameter in:

github.com

pkp/pkp-lib/blob/05fd160c27efc48f149ad2854e5ee97f41f7e3a2/classes/validation/ValidatorInSet.inc.php#L45


	//
	/**
	 * @see Validator::isValid()
	 * @param $value mixed
	 * @return boolean
	 */
	function isValid($value) {
		if (!is_array($this->_acceptedValues)) {
			return false;
		}
		return in_array($value, $this->_acceptedValues);
	}

}
?>

If comfortable with the editing, you can do this by hand, or you can download a fresh copy of the file to replace the current one.
