OJS generates Error 500 after Orcid plugin update

Hello,
I have installef fresh OJS 3.1.2 on php v. 7.3.5. Installation was successful. Then I upgraded manually orcid plugin from 1.1.0.0 to 1.1.1.0. After upgrade OJS generated error 500. Below is appropriate fragment from php error log:

What to do? Should I use v. 1.1.0.0 instead of 1.1.1.0? Why?

Hi @pgc,

Where did you get the 1.1.1.0 code from?

Hi @pgc,

I think you probably downloaded the current master branch, which is pre-release code and not compatible with OJS 3.1.2. Go to the “Releases” area to find a released version of the plugin. (Or better yet, use the Plugin Gallery to discover, install and upgrade plugins – it’ll take care of ensuring that you’re using a compatible version.)

Hi Alec,
thank you bery much. Unfortunately plugin installation directly form OJS is in my case impossible due to:

The path to tar is configured properly in config.inc.php

Hi @pgc,

The message you’re getting indicates that OJS couldn’t access the tar command. If you’re sure the tar directive in the [cli] section if your config.inc.php file is set correctly, it’s possible that your php.ini (or other configuration) prevents OJS from accessing it.

If it helps debug, you can see the test that’s failing here:
