OJS Errors While performing action in back-end

naeemdal · October 6, 2020, 7:37am

Greetings,

Whenever I perform any action I get errors, like opening discussion, assigning or un-assigning reviewers or even searching users etc. But it doesn’t happen all the time. It is somehow pain for me to work in the back-end.

OJS Version: 3.0.1.0
PHP: 5.6.40

Errors that I am facing are attached. I have debugged the element in chrome but there is nothing in the console.

I would appreciate if someone could help/suggest in this regard.

InkedInkedAssigning Reviewers error 2_LI InkedInkedFetch data while searching email_LI InkedInkedUn-assign reviewer - 17-Sep-20_LI

Hi @naeemdal,

Check your PHP error log, and watch for browser errors that appear on the page before the screenshot you show appears. Also note that OJS 3.0.1 and PHP 5.6.40 are both very old, and you should probably upgrade both.

Dear @asmecher Thank you for the response; the following are the PHP error logs that are repetitive since many months but the problem I am facing occurred from last month;

Moreover, I did not have any error that occurred after my thread here, but I will share the browser error as suggested by you. Further, as dialogue box appears that asks for to leave the page and then the error appears, unfortunately, the browser console doesn’t show any error but I will check the console when the browser dialogue box appears. However, following is the source; And Soon I will go for the upgrade but I don’t want to take any chance right now as our journal is live and don’t want to break anything with the upgrade or please suggest if upgrade could go smooth? I am a newbie on OJS.
