Hi @jhin139,

Those error messages are coming from MySQL; you should be able to fix them by repairing your database. I’m not sure these are related to the OJS installation failure, though – can you describe what happens when you attempt to install OJS?

Hi Alec

Well… no apparent problem is seen untill I complete the installation informations and press install button.

If problem arises by some incorrect information entry such as wrong user or database name it doesnt show http500 error.

it is only when I complete the setting page correctly and it proceeds next for installation.

and each time the error log is the same as I posted on forum.

With Regards,

Hi @jhin139,

You may be looking at the wrong log file; try your Apache error log. Note that users running OJS on Windows often run into PHP’s default time limits when installing; you may need to extend your maximum execution time for the sake of the installer.

Hi Alec.

I’m just a beginner in all this and it’s really difficult to figure this
problem myself. Could you please guide me through this?

I’m attaching the whole Apache error log content. However, I couldn’t open
the php error log because it says “cannot find the directory”
I don’t know whether this is the way it is supposed to be or this signifies
something.

Hi @jhin139,

This message appears relevant:

[Mon Sep 26 22:08:29.150653 2016] [:error] [pid 5628:tid 1832] [client::1:49653] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required’D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/plugins/citationOutput/vancouver/filter/Nlm30CitationSchemaVancouverFilter.inc.php’ (include_path=‘.;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/classes;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/pages;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/classes;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/pages;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/lib/adodb;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/lib/phputf8;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/lib/pqp/classes;D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs/lib/pkp/lib/smarty;D:\XAMPP\php\PEAR’) in D:\XAMPP\htdocs\ojs\lib\pkp\includes\functions.inc.php on line 25, referer: http://localhost/ojs/index.php/index/install

This suggests that lib/pkp/plugins/citationOutput/vancouver/filter/Nlm30CitationSchemaVancouverFilter.inc.php is missing from your installation.

Hi @jhin139,

Did you check the apparently missing file per my response above?

Regards,
Alec Smecher
Public Knowledge Project Team

yes but the file exist so im suspecting the authorization issue. I just changed the authorization setting but Im in flight now. I will keep u posted if this works

Thank you Alec, for your support. It was the problem with the file. It had the extension of .php0000464 for some reason and I changed it to .php Well, now it’s working!

Thank you once again

Now when I go to Login page it is blank… :frowning: this is so frustrating…

Hi @jhin139,

Check your PHP error log again; there may be something relevant there.

Hi. due to clash in the internet ( i assume this is because of apache
server)
I had to format my laptop… :confused:

and for the blank page I mentioned on my last mail, I could resolve it by
coping the missing folder from the old version and pasted in the directory.

Now there is different error showing up when I’ve tried to install this
again.
This reads:-

PKPTemplateManager.inc.php is present in the directory

Hi @jhin139,

The last message is the relevant one, and it suggests that the installation did not complete fully. The most common cause of this is your server hitting the PHP time limit; you may need to extend it before the installation can complete.

Hi Alec.

I have successfully installed on localhost by increasing the
maximum_execution_time.
Now I want to install the software on web through DreamHost

I have uploaded the ojs version 3.0 on ftp using filezilla.

but I can’t set up the files directory.
the error log says

[Mon Oct 10 04:02:51 2016] [error] [client 125.186.135.237] File does not
exist: /home/jamkim31/jclinresdent.dreamhosters.com/missing.html, referer:

[Mon Oct 10 04:03:51 2016] [error] [client 125.186.135.237] File does not

js/controllers/tab/settings/siteAccessOptions/form/
SiteAccessOptionsFormHandler.js, referer: http://www.jclinresdent.
dreamhosters.com/ojs/index.php/index/install/install

and there’s another doubt.
currently I have uploaded the ojs on remote site: /
jclinresdent.dreamhosters.com/ojs.

so if I go on http://jclinresdent.dreamhosters.com/ojs the installation
page shows up. but as I saw when I installed on localhost,

won’t the users have to type http://jclinresdent.dreamhosters.com/ojs to
see the homepage of the journal just like the case that I had to type
“localhost/ojs” to access after installation?

Kind Regards,

Hi @jhin139,

The warning message suggests that lib/pkp/js/controllers/tab/settings/siteAccessOptions/form/SiteAccessOptionsFormHandler.js is missing from your installation. It should be included, so maybe the process of setting it up on Dreamhost didn’t bring it across properly. That file being missing won’t completely break the installation, but it’ll break the site settings form, and if one file is missing, others might be too.

The ojs/ part of the URL is there because that’s the directory you put the software into; if you want to get rid of that, move the contents of the OJS installation out of that directory. (There are other ways to do this, but that’s the easiest.)
