Hi,
I have a problem with submission form used by authors. After clicking on “New submission” button, form with 5 steps shows up. I click all checkboxes on first step and press “Save and continue”. Then “Upload submission file” form window pops up. I select “Article component”, upload file and click "Continue’. On “Review Details” tab i click “Continue” and then nothing happens. It doesn’t switch to third step named “3. Confirm”. However if i close the popup window and refresh the page i can see that file has been uploaded and i can continue with other steps. Is this a bug? Anyone else having this? Thx.
Regards,
Nino
Hi @orcalator,
Check your PHP error log for details.

Hi @asmecher,
I already checked it and there is nothing regarding this in error.log 
This is not a fresh install but upgrade from 2.4.8. if that helps. Btw. i noticed form URL’s look like this:
https://someserver.com/ojs/index.php/test/$$$call$$$/wizard/file-upload/file-upload-wizard/finish-file-submission?submissionId=6717&stageId=1&reviewRoundId=&fileStage=2
Is this normal with that “$$$call$$$” part in URL?
Regards,
Nino
Hi @orcalator,
Hmm, something should definitely be logged – can you post the newest contents of the log file here, just in case?
The $$$call$$$ is supposed to appear there.

This is from access.log. I clicked new submission and did all the steps above till the final “Continue” on “Review Details” when nothing happend.

Btw. i also noticed one thing now. When i go to “My assigned” → “View Submission” and then i click on “Edit” under “Submission Files” and try to “Save” also nothing happens… only animated circle is turning in the right bottom corner of the popup window.
Hi @orcalator,
That looks like your Apache access log, not your error log. Check to see if there’s a separate error log. See also How do I find my PHP error log?

@asmecher,
Yes that’s an access log bcs. error log is empty for that period of time. There are no errors.
Regards.

Hi @orcalator,
That’s odd – there are generally at least a few warnings, depending on your PHP version. What version are you using? Do you see any warnings logged?

Hi @asmecher,
It seems that error log was disabled. After enabling error log this is what i get when i click on “Continue” on “Upload submission file” form, tab “Review Details”. Btw. we use PHP Version 5.6.33-0.

Hi @orcalator,
Those are all cosmetic warnings and won’t stop the system from operating, but they could be burying a more relevant error message. Try checking further back in the log, and look for something containing the word “Error”.

Hi, @asmecher
Nope, there are no errors. Can you give me some hints how to debug this. I already found php code that handles that form save request in /lib/pkp/controllers/api/file/PKPManageFileApiHandler.inc.php. So, that should be saveMetadata function right? On return something happens and form gets like frozen so i suppose something is wrong with return value. What should i look for? Thx.

Hi @orcalator,
Before jumping into the PHP, I’d suggest using the browser’s developer tools to inspect some of the server responses. Where you fail to get the expected response, I wonder if the server is sending invalid/malformed JSON.

@asmecher
Ok, i’ll try that first and get back with results. Thx. for help.

@asmecher,
I solved this. It was my mistake - i had some debugging code left from OJS migration in one php file that was causing the problem. Sorry for trouble and thank you for help!

Hi @asmecher
I have facing errors during the submission of the article in step 4. That is not moving on step 5 and complete the submission.

Hi @shahidasghar90,
As above, check your PHP error log for details. Please also include what version of OJS you’re using.
