Hi @purple - can you actually connect to your database from the command line with the parameters you entered in your config file? You can use the mysql command line tool to attempt this, from your server.
Oh. Is OJS actually installed? If you tried to install OJS with âmysqlâ as the database driver, and you needed âmysqliâ instead, then it probably did not install. You can connect to mysql from the command line and then run âuse your-databaseâ and then run âshow tablesâ (where your-database is your database name) and see if there are tables created. if not, that would be the problem.
No table created but if the browser is not giving me the option to try installing ojs again how do one add a table. Can it be done manually if yes can you send me an query with the require input as i donât know them at finger tip.
Well, I wouldnât try to create the tables manually, because chances are none of them are created and there are about 150 tables in OJS. Try changing âinstalledâ to âoffâ in your config file and then hitting it in a browser again. It should take you through the installer.
Same error DB Error: Table âojs.sessionsâ doesnât exist.
take a look at my php error log

Yes, i did the moment I clicked the install open journal system that pop up. I am thinking of starting the process from scratch again getting frustrating.
