Hi @didimus,

Check your PHP error log for details.

hi Aristarkus,

Here ia a picture, sir (attachment), tq

but Alec need to see your PHP error log, with the error log we can see what is your problem

I’ve gotten the same problem. Im using Linux ubuntu . Where can I find the error log?.

In my case (in a hosting) the error log is a file at the public_html folder with name error_log others hosting save the error log at the home folder

Actually, I never use PHP program. I’ve tried to install on desktop computers and successfully installed and can be used well but why it can be problematic to install with a laptop computer, tq.

mmm that’s weird a laptop is basically the same thing as a desktop computer… maybe exists some differences between software of both computers

Are you using MAMP? LAMP? XAMP? or something like that?

These are the laptop and XAMPP specifications that I use (attached), tq.

OK, in your installation directory d:\xamp\ you can find the PHP error logs. Another thing, what version of PHP are using? I think you are using PHP 7.2 and I think OJS is not 100% compatible, I recommend you PHP 7.0

Hi all,

Just to note that PHP7.2 is fine with OJS 3.1.1 – we tested that release against PHP5.6, 7.1, and 7.2 (and generally track all supported versions of PHP). Travis CI - Test and Deploy Your Code with Confidence

I still cant find the solution of this problem (http error 500 during installing the OJS).
Please provide the solution. I am not a web developer, i am a common user.
