Error installing QuickSubmit Plugin

Hi @David_Oguche,

There are some existing forum posts that speak to how to resolve this issue, please see some of the suggestions offered in the posts here:

Quick Submission Plugin Can't Upgrade From Plugin Gallery

Hi there, If you’ve got open_basedir enabled on your server, PHP is unable to load the commands it needs to uncompress the plugin archive file. Have a read on this thread for some ways to get around it: An alternative is to uninstall the old plugin, uncompress the new version of the plugin locally and then FTP it to the correct spot, and reinstall it. cheers,

The tar command is not available. Please correctly configure it in your "config.inc.php"

I see from your other post that you installed 7zip. While that may work on tar archives, it’s not the tar command that OJS needs. Try: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm and be sure to update your config.inc.php file with the full path to the command Cheers,

[OJS3.2.1.1] Plugin installation: "Tar command not available"

Hi @twa Yes, you can untar locally and then FTP. You’ll still need to “install” the plugin if you do it that way, though since some plugins also have schemas that need to be created in the database. Do you have shell access? OJS comes with a command line tool specifically for this purpose: php lib/pkp/tools/installPluginVersion.php plugins/generic/yourPlugin/version.xml Where you’d replace the path to version.xml with the correct one for your plugin. If you don’t have access yourself, perha…
