Hi all,

There is a small issue with the presentation of some plugin installation error messages. You can correct it by applying this change in lib/pkp/controllers/grid/plugins/PluginGalleryGridHandler.inc.php.

With this change applied, the error message will provide more guidance on why the plugin can’t be installed or upgraded.

Hi @manimughal,

I suspect you’re probably encountering this problem: Plugin install does not work across filesystems · Issue #6035 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

Hi @asmecher,
I cound’t understand what is the target folder, what the actual edit which can i do… Which is the exact file i rename and where is the file located

Hi @katharine,

The best way to apply these changes is to use a patch. If you’re not familiar with patches, you can download the updated versions of the files correctly and replace your local copies with them:

Dear @asmecher,

We are getting the following notification while upgrading plugins on our OPS website.

The “exec” PHP function has been disabled on your server. Contact your system adminstrator to enable it.

While the OJS site on the same domain and server is working fine.

I got some error on OAI-PMH validation, Kindly suggest me to fix this issue

WARN Malformed response: mismatched tag at line 16, column 2, byte 1457 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/Parser.pm line 187. . The most common reason for malformed responses is illegal bytes in UTF-8 streams (e.g. the inclusion of Latin1 characters with codes>127 without creating proper UTF-8 mutli-byte sequences). You might find the utf8conditioner, found on the OAI tools page helpful for debugging.

Hi @katharine,

I see you’ve also posted this elsewhere – please don’t post the same content multiple times; it clutters the forum.

@manimughal, OJS 3.2.x uses the exec PHP function to run commands on the server to unpack and install plugins. It sounds like your server’s administrator has disabled that function. The system will work, but you won’t be able to unpack/install plugins until the exec function is enabled again.
