How to migrate ojs 2.3.4 to ojs 2.4.7 including database

Upgrading from lower version to an upper version must be done step by step, first please, please, please take a back up of all your files from both ojs and database as well. Similarly Export all your articles and journals and then go for upgrade.

Take a look over these links (database upgrading is also given in it)

@abraham.john, since the question references 2.4.7 as the upgrade target, be sure to switch the git “branch” to “ojs-stable-2_4_7” when adding the GitHub link. This will grab the 2.4.7 UPGRADE doc instead of the the master (3.x) UPGRADE doc.

Upgrading an OJS Installation
-----------------------------

Note: backing up your current data files and database is strongly recommended
prior to upgrading OJS.

If you are using PHP Safe Mode, please ensure that the max_execution_time
directive in your php.ini configuration file is set to a high limit. If this
or any other time limit (e.g. Apache's "Timeout" directive) is reached and
the upgrade process is interrupted, manual intervention will be required.


======================
Upgrading from OJS 2.x
======================

Upgrading to the latest version of OJS involves two steps:

    - Obtaining the latest OJS code
    - Upgrading the OJS database
