Together with the greeting and the hope that you are well, I hope you can help me with this problem.
I tried to update ojs from version 3.1.0.1 to the last one, which is 3_1_2_4, but I could not, when installing the latest version (for now in my virtual machine) nothing appears, I have given permissions to the folder and nothing happens
chown -R www-data: www-data / var / www /
chown -R $ user: $ user / var / www /
chmod 755 -R / var / www /
the page is in white, I have php7, mysql 5.6 in debian 10.
I had a similar problem. Found an error in my php log mentioning mb_split (I think this was the name). I needed to install this php module to get the site working again. something like
Thanks for responding, regards, try using sudo apt-get install php-mbstring but apparently it was already installed, the log in the address /var/log/apache2/error.log that appears is:

in the log this address appears in $ application = require (’./ lib / pkp / includes / bootstrap.inc.php’);
when I go to the lib / pkp / folder it appears empty
From your original post, it looks like your permissions are now a bit of “whack”, so to speak. But let’s start at the beginning. My first suggestion is to roll back your database from a backup, and get your original installation running on 3.1.0.1. Is that possible at this point?
A pleasure to greet you, I am very sorry for the delay, I commented that I did the test by moving the original ojs(version 3.1.0.1) from server1 (debian 7) to server2 (debian 10), but the page also looked white. On the servers, the requirements they need to work with their respective versions of php and mysql are installed, that is, for server1 (debian 7 → php 5.6 and mysql 5.5) and for server2 (debian 10 → php7 .3 and mysql 5.6)
I tried to import the previous database (version ojs 3.1.0.1) and the page was blank.
This is the last record of the log

Thanks for the recommendation, I will take it into account in future publications, after seeing the publication you mentioned I changed the driver in the config.ini file from mysql to mysqli, and in the registry I receive another message that is the following;

It sounds like you’re running an old version of OJS – that was fixed starting with OJS 2.4.8-4 (for OJS 2.x) and OJS 3.1.1 (for OJS 3.x). Upgrading to something newer will fix it.
