OJS 3 Can't Login

Software Support
42

Hi @Elias_Cisneros,

Rather than modifying OJS to work with OJS < 5.3.7, I would strongly suggest using a hosting environment that’s PHP 5.6 or newer. OJS 3.1 will most likely boost PHP requirements to PHP 5.6+. PHP 5.3 is at end-of-life according to Zend (who maintains it).

My version of php is 5.6 on a shared hosting but I am still having the same problem. Even the SQL update statement did not work as well. My version of OJS is 2.4.8

Please Is there anyone that can help me with this problem I have exhausted my research options. Should I deploy another OJS but I am worried that the issue will re-occur again since this seems to be and issue with the OJS core framework.

Hi @Yugene,

I followed up on your other post at Can't login to OJS. It’s better to just post in one place – otherwise the forum gets messy.

Alright. Will do next time. I actually posted that first but when I did not
get any response after some days, I decided to send you personal message.
Thank once more.

Hi! I am from 2020! :rofl: And I faced the same problem. I’ve found a solution: You should erase cookies from your browser history and then You will be able to authenticate. Bye! :innocent:
