Guidance on Migrating Separate OJS Instance to Multi-Journal OJS System

Software Support

Hey @rcgillis

I hope you are doing well.

I am currently managing a standalone Open Journal Systems (OJS) installation at:
ajbmsc.ubc.com/index.php

I would like to migrate this journal into a multi-journal OJS setup under:
ojs.jcb.com/index.php/ajbmsc

Could you please provide guidance on the best approach for this migration? Specifically, I would appreciate information on:

  • The necessary database and file transfers
  • Configuration adjustments to ensure a smooth transition
  • Any potential issues or best practices to follow during the migration

Looking forward to your support.

Thank you.

I uploaded the plugin, but it has been over an hour, and it still hasn’t installed. The process seems stuck, and I’m not sure what’s causing the delay.
