Problems installing OJS 3.1.2.1

Hello. I’m trying to install OJS 3.1.2.1 in a proof server. I get to the OJS Installation page. When I push the install button get “HTTP ERROR 500”.
When I go back to the installation page I get this message error:

Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /home/enzo884/public_html/serviciosdigitales/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/xml/XMLParser.inc.php on line 45

Background info.
I had installed, and runnned properly, OJS 3.3.0.7. I need to upgrade, for other journals, from 3.1.2.1 to 3.3, so I erase the latest version in my proof server and tried to install 3.1.

The PHP version is PHP 7.4.25 (could this be the problem?)

Regards

Hi @Jvil

OJS 3.1.2.1 is quite old now, and I don’t think it’s compatible with PHP 7.4. It should however work with 7.3, as we host some clients using 3.1.2 with a server running PHP 7.3.

Thank you, Jason. I think I will just go into the upgrade from 3.1 to 3.3. Is PHP 7.3.32 version suitable for the latest OJS?

Hi @Jvil

Sure, OJS 3.3 works just fine on PHP 7.3.
