I am learning to use OJS 3.0.2.
Initially I have installed XAMPP v.5.6.30 as web server in Windows 10 and unpacked OJS 3.0.2 in htdocs folder of XAMPP.
After, I started Apache and MySQL, I wrote localhost/ojs-3.0.2 in one browser and made all Pre-Installation Steps. Apparently the entire installation was successful.
My problem appears when entering OJS with my administrator credentials, when I click on the Create Journal link, I fill in all the required fields, I click the Save button, and the creation seems to start, but it does not happen. The circular timer on the lower right begins to spin and does not stop. After more than an hour, and keeps spinning.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thank you all in advance.

Thanks, asmecher for your answer.
I have solved the problem by making some changes to some XAMPP files.
I have increased the import times and sizes of PhpMyAdmin through the following procedure:
- Open the php.ini file with Notepad. We have it localizable in the folder (XAMPPLocalServer) / php.
- To increase the maximum execution time, we modify the value of the following parameter to the indicated value: max_execution_time = 3000
- To increase the size of POST data, we modify the value of the following parameter to the indicated value: post_max_size = 16M
- To increase the file size, we modify the value of the following parameter to the indicated value: upload_max_filesize = 20M
- To increase the input data time, we modify the value of the following parameter to the indicated value: max_input_time = 1000
- Save the php.ini file with all these modifications.
- Open the config.default.php file with Notepad. We have it locatable in the folder (XAMPPLocalServer) / phpMyAdmin / libraries
- To have an unlimited time, we modify the value of the following parameter to the indicated value: $ cfg [‘ExecTimeLimit’] = 0
- Save the config.default.php file with this modification.
I hope this can be of help here.
