HTTP Error 500 While upgrading from 3.2.1.2 to 3.3.0.2

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade from 3.2.1.2 to 3.3.0.2. But getting HTTP Error 500.

Any solutions?

Hi, try looking at the previous posts, maybe there is information similar to your problem. Since you have provided very little information, I’m not sure if they can help you.

@Heorhii Do you use the custom theme? In my case this is error related with custom theme. I think the new version (3.3.0) use Laravel/Illuminate library.

Try look in to error log. For example:

$ sudo nano /var/log/apache2/custom_name_error.log

Hi @ross_s. I tried to update via web.

Hi @Heorhii,
When I switch to the default theme, then there is no more 500 error. So I identified this as a custom theme bug related to db. In your case, the error related to db too (the provided log indicated it). But I’m not sure. This question for who knows db well.

@Heorhii p.s. Have you successfully updated the databases? see Issue with Database (MariaDB) upgrade (failed from 3.2.1.3 to 3.3.0.2) - #7 by ross_s

Heorhii · February 6, 2021, 6:08pm

Unfortunately, I’m not that advanced user. I carried out past updates via the web without problems.

Hi @Heorhii,

The error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getConnection() on null

…is caused by this issue:

github.com/pkp/pkp-lib

Unable to upgrade 3.3.0.2: Call to a member function getConnection() on null

**Describe the bug** After applying necessary changes when I visit http://domai…n.com/[[DIR]]/index.php/index/install/installUpgrade it gives blank page. On further debugging I found following error. _Array ( [type] => 1 [message] => Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getConnection() on null in [[PATH]]/[[DIR]]/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Capsule/Manager.php:74_ It seems newly added laravel is conflicting. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Back up your files and database 2. Remove files of existing installation. 3. Restore your config.inc.php with all new changes present in new version. 4. Visit http://domain.com/[[DIR]]/index.php/index/install/upgrade and click on "Upgrade" throws above error. **What application are you using?** OJS, OMP and OPS version 3.3.0.2 **Additional information** Using PHP 7.3 and Mysql 5.5

You can fix it by applying the following change to lib/pkp/classes/install/form/UpgradeForm.inc.php, or by using the command-line upgrade tool instead of the web-based upgrade form.

Enjoy the update…

…But not for long. Because we get problems with article files.

Hi @Heorhii,

Can you describe the problem with article files in a new topic?

I don’t know what the problem is, but after a successful update, all links to pdf files of articles are not correct. I will throw off the error log, unfortunately it does not tell me anything.

Hi @Heorhii,

Please post this as a new topic; it’s not related to the rest of this thread.

Hello,

I came here because I found myself in a very similar situation.
I was trying to update from 3.2.1.2 to 3.3.0.2 when I ended up in the Http 500 Error page.
For information, I am using Immersion theme, and this is my Journal’s website: https://www.ista-online.org/journal/
Now, I have read what @Heorhii wrote for the way to solve the issue

But I would like to know if these steps need to followed now in order to update, or not. I am asking, because I am getting stuck before them, since they appearently look too difficult for me.
Should they also be included in the official upgrade documentation, if they are required in order to succesfully upgrade?
I am sorry to bother, but it is 5 days that I try to update and I am stuck. I have also uploaded again the whole Journal in an other subfolder, where I am trying to upgrade, and where you can see the problem in action: https://www.ista-online.org/ojs

Thank you very much for any help that you could give me.
Best regards,
Leonardo

Hi @leonardo.mancini,

There are already several issues described in this topic and it’s not clear which you’re encountering (or if it’s something else entirely). Could you post a new topic describing the issues you’re encountering in detail? Note that we also released OJS 3.3.0-4 yesterday, and it corrects at least one of the issues discussed here.
