hello community,
Currently in the organization where I work and OJS version 3.3.0.10 LTS is installed, they have eliminated the internet service for the server where OJS is hosted. Once they do this procedure, the Administration module of a magazine and the site stops working, it is identified that this happens when they remove the internet service. When I turn it back on it works again.
What the infrastructure area has asked me is that I share the URL that OJS requires to enable the internet service. He only shared https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_download/ but it still doesn’t work.
Are there more URLs that OJS requires to have internet output?
Thank you very much, I look forward to your help.
HI @amoralesag , Bit really confused about the question/requirement here . But if I am understand correctly , you want to run OJS as an offline app from the hosted server but some part of the OJS require to load something via a http/https connection and need to identify those urls/resources, is that right ?

Hello @touhidur,
If that is correct, how do you interpret my concern?
As I was saying, for security reasons, the server where OJS is hosted cannot have full internet service. For this, I have been asked to specify the URLs where OJS must consume internet service.
Thanks for the help.
I think they want the URL of the journal that your OJS application is hosting.
Hi @amoralesag,
If you’re looking to understand what outgoing connections OJS initiates, there are two in the setup area:
-
https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/xml/ojs-version.xml
: This is what OJS uses to check whether there is an updated version available. (Can be disabled in config.inc.php
by turning Off
both show_upgrade_warning
and enable_beacon
.)
-
https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/xml/plugins.xml
: This provides content for the Plugin Gallery.
Depending on if you have SMTP service turned on (see config.inc.php
), or are using plugins that use external connections (e.g. PKP|PN, CrossRef, etc), there may be others.
