OJS 3 Site Management

Software Support
1

After installing OJS 3 in XAMP and creating new journal I have got only Tasks and Administration menu on the left side. I cannot add new user, role… When I try to upload new article in the drop menu for language and section the fields are empty. I cannot submit article, add roles… I cannot do anything. Where is the problem?

2

Can anyone give answer on above question?

Hi @Lazar_Stosic,

I suspect that when you created the new journal some kind of error occurred before it was completed. Do you recall whether the journal creation completed without apparent problems? Can you check your PHP error log to see if anything relevant appears?

Dear Alec,
thank you for your assistance. I tried to create another journal but received the same. Again install the XAMP, new database, new OJS3 but after creating new journal receive only Tasks and Administration on left side. For now cannot see any error. Could you tell me where to check concrete for PHP error log?

Hi @Lazar_Stosic,

Try googling “XAMPP PHP error log” – that should tell you where to look.

Dear Alec,
in XAMP PHP error log I found next error:

Hi @Lazar_Stosic,

That suggests that your cache and cache/t_compile directories are either missing, or have permissions set such that OJS can’t maintain their contents.
