Error Upgrading From OJS 3.1.0 to OJS 3.1.2

Hello,

I received the following error message upon hitting the upgrade button for OJS 3.1.2:

“This page isn’t working
website is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500”

If anyone knows what the problem might be, please let me know. Thank you.

Best regards,

Perhaps you might check the PHP requirement for OJS 3.1.2.

To run the latest release of OJS 3.x, your web server will need:

PHP 7.0 or later with MySQL or PostgreSQL support

Hi @sisca_ojs,

I have tried switching to PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, but the problem still exists. I also checked my error logs, and found nothing there.

Hi @Mohamed_Agoor,

The relevant error is…

PHP Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getId() on null in /home/.../classes/install/Upgrade.inc.php:2474

I think you’re missing an entry in your Components list that’s required for the upgrade. Go to Settings > Workflow > Components, and make sure there’s an entry called “HTML Stylesheet”. If you don’t have one, you can create it with these characteristics…

You’ll need to create this in your OJS 3.1.0 installation, before you run the upgrade script.

Hi @asmecher,

I created the “HTML Stylesheet,” but the problem still exists. I did notice today however that in my journal settings a message states that I am currently using OJS 3.1.1.4. I believe this may be because last month I upgraded from OJS 3.1.0 to OJS 3.1.1.4, but when I discovered that the content in my “submissions” was missing, I switched back to OJS 3.1.0. I later learned however, that all I had to do was clear my browser cache in order for the content to reappear. So upon discovering yesterday that OJS 3.1.2 was released, I upgraded directly from OJS 3.1.0. Could the problem be that I downgraded from OJS 3.1.2 to OJS 3.1.0, and then directly upgraded to OJS 3.1.2? Thank you very much for assistance.

Best regards,
Mohamed Agoor

Have you tried to change db connection in config.inc.php from mysql to mysqli?

@asmecher I am trying to install ojs 3.1.2 and having error
This page isn’t working

**** is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

I am not upgrading, but installing it on new hosting.
Php version is 7.0, 7.1 ,7.2

Haroon_Sattar · March 29, 2019, 6:03am

Also the error log is empty

asmecher · April 1, 2019, 6:54pm

Hi @Haroon_Sattar,

If you’re getting a 500 error, something should definitely appear in the error log. If it’s empty, you’re probably looking in the wrong file. Check the FAQ entry in this forum about identifying the error log.
