Hi @suresh_patil,

Do you have something in lib/pkp/plugins/generic/usageStats in your installation?

Hi @suresh_patil,

What about the OJS 3.2.1-1 codebase you’re attempting to upgrade to?

Can you turn on the show_stacktrace option in config.inc.php and try again?

Hi @suresh_patil,

Hmm, I was expecting to see a stack trace below the PHP Fatal Error message; do you see anything like that in the log?

Hi @suresh_patil,

I think your PHP installation is too old for OJS 3.2.1-1; see docs/README.md for minimum requirements.

suresh_patil · July 30, 2020, 9:31am

…and as per the system requirements, i am using PHP version is 7.2, should i upgrade??

asmecher · July 30, 2020, 3:16pm

Hi @suresh_patil,

That confirms that your command-line PHP is 7.2.x, but the message:

[Wed Jul 29 11:05:43.291838 2020] [:error] [pid 95680] [client 91.217.79.207:44436] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /var/www/infoopen/lib/pkp/classes/notification/PKPNotificationOperationManager.inc.php on line 374

…clearly indicates a PHP version older than 7.1. Maybe your web-based PHP is a different version? You can check this with a phpinfo script; see e.g. https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/23537#issuecomment-373060279 for instructions.

suresh_patil · July 30, 2020, 9:25pm

Hi @suresh_patil,

Do you see any of this error:

 [Thu Jul 30 07:46:07.569458 2020] [:error] [pid 14435] [client 104.244.78.107:40276] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’, expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /var/www/infoopen/lib/pkp/classes/notification/PKPNotificationOperationManager.inc.php on line 374, referer: http://52.172.212.239:80/left.html

…appearing since the PHP version upgrade? Or are those just old entries?

suresh_patil · July 31, 2020, 5:02pm

Hi @asmecher,

The error messages are same for both PHP 7.0 and PHP 7.2. that means both, before and after upgrade the errors are same.

asmecher · July 31, 2020, 6:18pm

Hi @suresh_patil,

As long as you’re getting the message:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’,

…something older than PHP 7.1 is trying to run OJS. If you still get that message upon trying to upgrade, you’ll definitely need to resolve it. Unfortunately the details will be system specific so I can’t give any more guidance than that.

The other error I see is this one:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/var/www/infoopen/lib/pkp/plugins/generic/usageStats/GeoLocationTool.inc.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php’) in /var/www/infoopen/lib/pkp/includes/functions.inc.php on line 25

To fix this, try applying this change to your code.
