Problem enabling PKP PN in OJS 3.1.2.1

[AI_JE]

Hi all,

I am using OJS version 3.1.2.1
It seems that we have enabled PKP PN, because at the Plugin Gallery I see under “Status” that it “Can be upgraded”. But when I click on “PKP|PN (PKP Preservation Network) Plugin” then I get this screen:

Plugin already installed, but can be updated to a newer version.

• Reviewed This plugin has been reviewed and approved by the Public Knowledge Project team.

v2.0.1.1 released on 2020-07-21

PKP|PN for OJS 3.1.2-x.

Summary

Public Knowledge Project

pkp/pln

This plugin enables the automatic preservation of published journal content in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP|PN).

Note: This plugin requires ZipArchive support. See PHP: Installation - Manual for details.

When I go to Website Settings → Archiving, I see that the box in front of
“PKP PN plugin enabled” is not checked. But when I check this box and save it, then again the box changes to unchecked.

Could you please assist me in getting PKP PN working.

Kind regards,

Jurry

Hi @AI_JE,

Is there a plugins/generic/pln directory on your server (in the OJS installation directory)?

Hi Alec,

I am the Journal Manager of our journal, but I do not have administrator rights. So I can’t tell you now if there is a plugins/generic/pln directory on the server.
I have read somewhere in the PKP documentation that it is also possible for a journal manager to install PKP PN:

“Preservation agreement (Journal terms)
Journal managers who would like their journal to be included in the PKP PN need to accept the Journal Terms via the LOCKSS OJS plugin.”

But I do not find the place where I can accept the Journal Terms. And I do not find the LOCKSS OJS plugin.

Best,

Jurry

Hi @AI_JE,

Could you verify with your site administrator whether that directory exists? It’ll help establish whether the plugin is actually installed.
