Hi, I am setting up PKP PLN, which requires enable “PKP PLN Plugin” under “Generic Plugins”. The PKP PLN Plugin also requires enabling “Acron” plugin.
It seems that “Acron” only has two options “Enable” and “Reload Scheduled Tasks”. I enabled the “Acron” plugin, and it created a table named “scheduled-tasks”.
I could not find more documentation on how to configure it. Do I need to do any other configuration?
You just need to enable the Acron plugin and it’ll take care of scheduled tasks on its own without further configuration. However, if your service provider supports cron jobs, that’s a preferred configuration – in that case you’d disable the Acron plugin and configure cron instead. See config.inc.php for details.

I have a problem with Acron Plugin. When I reload scheduled tasks a blank page comes. I researched about Acron Plugin and saw that there is a different namd Acron Plugin else. “PKPAcronPlugin.inc.php” But I didnt find in forum nothing about this.
usually a totally blank page will result into some sort php error. Maybe you could try turning on debugging from config.inc.php and the try to run the acron plugin? Or perhaps try deactivate acron from the plugins and the reactivate it?
Since your “error.log” file only references Apache errors (such as “file not found”), I suspect you have another dedicated PHP error log which will have a helpful error message. Check with your system administrator or hosting provider regarding where PHP error messages can be found.
