[OJS 3.1.2] PKP PN Plugin error - Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned [close]

I activated from the Pugins Gallery section, the PKP PN Plugin but i have error Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned.

GET /$$$call$$$/grid/settings/plugins/settings-plugin-grid/manage?verb=settings&plugin=plnplugin&category=generic&_=1595520705874

And after activating it, it doesn’t let me list the plugins either and I get the following error

/$$$call$$$/grid/settings/plugins/settings-plugin-grid/fetch-grid?_=1595521522586

Hi @diegomejia07,

Is anything relevant in your PHP error log?

Hi @asmecher,

In the logs nothing registers me, but clicking on settings in the PKP PN plugin and inspecting the page shows me the following error

jquery.min.js
/$$$call$$$/grid/settings/plugins/settings-plugin-grid/manage?verb=settings&plugin=plnplugin&category=generic&_=1595528386716 500 (Internal Server Error)

Hi @diegomejia07,

If you see a 500 error, there should definitely be something in the server logs; I’d suggest double-checking. Another question: do you have the ZipArchive PHP extension installed?

Hi @asmecher

Yes, the extension is installed on my server

Hi @diegomejia07,

Were you able to double-check the PHP error log?

Hi @asmecher,

This is what the error log shows, and there are no errors. They are all warnings

Hi @diegomejia07,

There might be quite a few warnings, hiding an error further up in the log file. I’d recommend loading the request that causes the 500 error, and immediately checking the log, watching for only the new entries corresponding to the current time. (Newer releases of OJS have fewer warnings to get lost in.)

Hi @asmecher,

This is definitely not logged in the php logs as an error. Carefully review their logs and warnings, and nothing is displayed.

What else could I do.

Hi @diegomejia07,

Try removing the error-suppressing @ character in plugins/generic/PLNPlugin.inc.php around line 376 by changing:

if(!@include_once('Archive/Tar.php')) {

…to…

if(include_once('Archive/Tar.php')) {

Then trigger the error again, and check the log to see if something appears now.

Hi @diegomejia07,

It looks like the request that fetches the plugin gallery is returning invalid JSON. I’d suggest using your web browser’s web developer tools to inspect that response and see if you can find where the illegal content is.

Is there any resolution of this error- ‘Failed Ajax or Invalid JSON’?

Hi @hannanhazari,

Check the responses already listed on this thread and report back what the results were.

No errors shown in Browser web console.
In PHP error log, I got 3 relevant errors

Hi @hannanhazari,

What version of OJS are you using, and what version of the PKP PN plugin?

Regards,
Alec Smecher

I am using OJS version 3.1.0.1 and PKP PN plugin version 3.1.2.

Below are the shared hosting server specifications:

OS platform Linux
PHP version 5.6.40
Apache version Apache
Database driver mysql
Database server version 10.3.23-MariaDB-log-cll-lve

Hi @hannanhazari,

I suspect you have the PKP PN plugin version wrong – it should be something starting with 2.

However, I think the problem is that you’re using an OJS version that’s too old for the PKP PN plugin. You’ll need to upgrade to at least OJS 3.1.2.

Hi @diegomejia07,

You’ll have to use code quoting tools to post that in this forum, or it won’t come through clearly – use the image button.
