Install OJS on website

I want to install ojs (open journal system) on my website as a page of submission how can I do that, please?

Hi @adnan

You are able to install OJS in a subfolder of your site, it is not required that OJS runs on a root webfolder. If you want only accept submissions and not publish through system it is also possible, you will need set this option on following path (logged on admin panel:
Settings > Distribution > Access(tab)

Check “OJS will not be used to publish the journal’s contents online.” option, and press “save” button

Hi @israel.cefrin
Than u very much
I added a subfolder in the file manager and upload ojs at it, but it did not appear in the Dashboard?
can u tell me the steps, step by step I am new in cpanel of hosting, also I can not upload to Wordpress

Hi @adnan

Which dashboard are you talking about? Wordpress dashboard?
OJS won’t appear on it, you will have to handle it on CPANEL or directly on server file system (SSH session).

Hi @adnan

If your wordpress is installed on your webroot folder (i.e. public_html) and your OJS is on a subfolder like ojs2 (public_html/ojs2) then you will need create a link on your WordPress menu to http://www.yourdomain.com/ojs2

Hi @adnan

Have you checked your webserver error log? Error 500 is usually regard to some script that webserver couldn’t handle.
