[OJS 3.1.2.1] Articles "deposit" button returns blank page

Hi @birkok,

The steps I’m describing are supposed to run on a copy of your apparently-working, but incompletely-upgraded, production installation. You can (and should) use a copy of that, but I suspect you’re running these steps on an old backup of your 2.x database, which is not what I intended (and won’t work).

Hi @birkok,

What version of OJS does your production site claim to be running? By my understanding from this post, it reports 2.4.8-4.

If that’s the case, then you should be able to run this query on a copy of that database to force OJS to think its database was fully upgraded to 3.1.2-1:

UPDATE versions SET major=3, minor=1, revision=2, build=1 WHERE product='ojs2' and current=1;

If you get an error from that query, please double-check what’s in your versions table with product='ojs2' and current=1'.

Hi @birkok,

Can you post those questions as new topics? That’ll help keep the forum organized.
