Hi @mauritroviano,

Here’s a general guide on using the browser’s developer tools to inspect a response using Google Chrome:

Other browsers will be similar.

Hi @mauritroviano,

You’ll need to look in the response for something that’s not valid JSON. The best way to do that is probably to inspect the response manually, looking for something unusual, and if you can’t see something there, use a JSON linter/formatter, e.g. https://jsonlint.com/.

Ok… I can’t solve the problem… but I changed the php version from 7.4 to 7.2 and also re create the database. After that I have to reinstall ojs and all was ok this time.
Thanks @asmecher for your help.

PD: I’m using ubuntu server 18.04 in a fresh installation

Where can I find the list with requirements for OJS and OMP (both 3.2.0-3)

26

Hi @ugp2,

For system requirements, see docs/README.md in the OJS installation directory.

Hi @asmecher,

Thank you for the response.

What I meant is: where is the list of required modules? In the topic you mentioned ‘gettext’. In the README.md is this not mentioned. We also ran into the fact that mysqli and php-xml were not installed. This makes me wonder if there might be a list in which all these things are mentioned.

Hi @ugp2,

We don’t formally maintain a list – different distributions of PHP will have various of them built in, so it’s tough to make a meaningful list. But this tool can apparently tell you which are needed: PHP CompatInfo

Hi @asmecher,

For PKP PN Plugin I received in error.log:

Function in config.ini.php

display_errors = Off

I use OJS 3.2.1.2. In previous version of OJS is the same. PLN Plugin doesn`t work.

Any idea?

Hi @Lazar_Stosic,

I think that’s a different issue than those discussed on this thread; can you post it as a new topic?

I got the same problem. Just had to change the PHP version from 7.4 to 7.3 and got fixed. Could create and modify users without issues.

My version: 3.3.0.7.

I had a similar problem. I solved it.

I opened administrator panel and:

  • clear Data Cache
  • clear Template Cache

In my case I watched cache mixed working ojs url with previous ojs url test version. Once cleared all goes on.

Best regards!
