Problem upgrading from 3.3.0.14 to 3.4.0.4

[Webmaster_Lua_Edicio]

Hi
I followed the instructions to upgrade from 3.3.0.14 to 3.4.0.4. as described in https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/dev/upgrade-guide/en/

When I run

php tools/upgrade.php check

I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver in /var/www/vhosts/********/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOConnection.php:38

Plus several other errors. But’s lets focus on this one for the time being

I found my bootstrap.inc.php had been hacked with malicious code. I deleted it. I’ll look for more malicious code now that I know.

Hi @Webmaster_Lua_Edicio,

Ensure that your files_dir (as configured in config.inc.php) is not directly web-accessible. That’s the most common way OJS installations are hacked. (There are warnings about this on the installation form, in the configuration file, and in various installation documentation.)

Hi @asmecher
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I made sure my files directory is not web-accesible in the installation.
I double checked it again just in case.
