Hi,
I have just done a fresh OCS install on an IIS platform. When I login and then try to create what would be the first conference, even though it is just a sandbox, I get the following error
- NOTICE: Undefined variable: conference (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\OCS\classes\admin\form\ConferenceSiteSettingsForm.inc.php:79)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
A PHP Notice is generally a non-critical development warning; display of warnings to the web browser is controlled by the display_errors
configuration .
Do things work normally aside from this notice?
Hi,
This is a new installation, so while other things seem to be ok, I can’t be certain yet. The problem is that it throws up this message on an otherwise empty page and I cannot create a conference.

There should be another message, probably prefixed with “PHP FATAL”, which points to the actual problem. Can you find any additional information in the webserver error log?
Check your webserver error log
Usually, this indicates that a PHP error has occurred and the message has been sent to your web server or system log file. Check there – e.g. /var/log/apache/error.log, although the exact location will depend on your server configuration – for further details.
Check your file permissions
If you haven’t installed OJS yet, then the most likely cause is a problem with file permissions in your cache/ or cache/t_compile directories. See docs/README for information on…
Nothing in the log.

This looks like the access log. There will be another log for PHP errors. The last line has a 500 status:
This 500 status indicates an “internal server error” which would have been logged in the webserver’s error log.
Perhaps this thread might be helpful?

Thanks for the help. I found the problem which was that PHP was set to a dev environment with errors set to all. Changing it to a prod environment resolved the issue.
