Hi @aamunim,

Can you please indicate your OJS version number (e.g. 3.3.-0-8) - this assists others in troubleshooting. Additionally, are you able to report on any errors from your PHP error log - I see this is occurring for a number of your articles so it might point to a more widespread issue occurring with your journal/OJS instance.

Have you made a recent server change or a change in the location of the files folder?

  1. the file path may be incorrect (config.inc.php “files_dir” line.
  2. The files folder may be empty.

Could you check these and the php error logs?

Can you edit the “files_dir” line as below and try again?
files_dir = /home4/discint/journals/files

“fileses22” only has 5 submission folders. Probably your other articles are in the “files” folder.
