Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

I think there should be a stack trace below that log entry you quoted; can you include more of the message?

the log just looks like that:

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

Hmm, that’s not the stack trace I was hoping for. You might need to temporarily modify the file in question to get it to dump out more information into the error log. If you have some basic PHP skills, change lib/pkp/lib/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Http/Uri.php. Find the filterQuery function:

    /**
     * Filters the query string or fragment of a URI.
     *
     * @param string $query The raw uri query string.
     *
     * @return string The percent-encoded query string.
     */
    protected function filterQuery($query)
    {
        return preg_replace_callback(
            '/(?:[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.~!\$&\'\(\)\*\+,;=%:@\/\?]+|%(?![A-Fa-f0-9]{2}))/',
            function ($match) {
                return rawurlencode($match[0]);
            },
            $query
        );
    }

Change it to:

    /**
     * Filters the query string or fragment of a URI.
     *
     * @param string $query The raw uri query string.
     *
     * @return string The percent-encoded query string.
     */
    protected function filterQuery($query)
    {
        if ($query === null) {
            error_log('ERROR CONDITION: ' . print_r(debug_backtrace(), true));
        }
        return preg_replace_callback(
            '/(?:[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.~!\$&\'\(\)\*\+,;=%:@\/\?]+|%(?![A-Fa-f0-9]{2}))/',
            function ($match) {
                return rawurlencode($match[0]);
            },
            $query
        );
    }

Then watch the error log for the ERROR CONDITION: text to appear.

Of course, please take a complete backup before working with files on the server!

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

Unfortunately it looks like the error log entry got cut off in the log file. If you’re handy with PHP, could you try a call to file_put_contents that’ll write the message to a file somewhere handy on the system (e.g. a temp folder) rather than using error_log?

Regards,
Alec Smecher
Public Knowledge Project Team

9

can you give an instruction? in which file and on which line should I add the file_put_contents?

10

There is some information that I just realized about this issue:

  1. This error appears when I upgrade to version 3.4.x, while when upgrading to the previous version (3.3.0.19) the error did not appear
  2. I have tried upgrading gradually from version 3.3.0.11 to 3.3.0.12, then to 3.3.0.19, but the error still appears on version 3.4.0.0.
11

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

Modifying my instructions above – change lib/pkp/lib/vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Http/Uri.php. Find the filterQuery function:

    /**
     * Filters the query string or fragment of a URI.
     *
     * @param string $query The raw uri query string.
     *
     * @return string The percent-encoded query string.
     */
    protected function filterQuery($query)
    {
        return preg_replace_callback(
            '/(?:[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.~!\$&\'\(\)\*\+,;=%:@\/\?]+|%(?![A-Fa-f0-9]{2}))/',
            function ($match) {
                return rawurlencode($match[0]);
            },
            $query
        );
    }

Change it to:

    /**
     * Filters the query string or fragment of a URI.
     *
     * @param string $query The raw uri query string.
     *
     * @return string The percent-encoded query string.
     */
    protected function filterQuery($query)
    {
        if ($query === null) {
            file_put_contents('/tmp/tmp.txt', 'ERROR CONDITION: ' . print_r(debug_backtrace(), true));
        }
        return preg_replace_callback(
            '/(?:[^a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.~!\$&\'\(\)\*\+,;=%:@\/\?]+|%(?![A-Fa-f0-9]{2}))/',
            function ($match) {
                return rawurlencode($match[0]);
            },
            $query
        );
    }

Change the /tmp/tmp.txt part to a location where OJS has permission to store a file. Once this code is run, a file should be created there with the stack trace.

Of course, please take a complete backup before working with files on the server!

I have added the code and adjusted the location of the tmp.txt file, but the file is not successfully created in the folder

13

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

That’s probably a file permission problem, and details might be logged in the PHP error log.

Regards,
Alec Smecher
Public Knowledge Project Team

14

I have adjusted the file permissions before and I have also tried on localhost windows (with the same database), the tmp.txt file does not appear

15

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

I’m afraid the only cause I can think of is an incorrectly specified path or a permission problem. You might see something relevant in the PHP error log.

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

Could you upload a compressed archive of the text file somewhere that I can access it, rather than converting it to a PDF? The PDF is hard to search for the relevant text.

Here is the tmp.txt link:

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

I’m afraid you might have to get into the guts of our API routing to resolve this. Essentially you are getting an issue with our API routing framework, where the Slim microframework router used in OJS 3.4.0 is not getting the query information from the request URL.

This is being injected into the Slim container in the APIHandler class, but when Slim goes to build its representation of the URI later, ending up here, it’s getting a null query string.

Unfortunately there is something on your system that I can’t recreate here – and others with similar environments (Windows, Xampp, OJS 3.4.0-x) haven’t hit the same problem, so I think you might have to do some investigation there.

I have tried with a different hosting environment (Centos/CWP, PHP 8), the same OJS source code (3.4.0) and the same database, but the error still appears. Is this really an error due to the upgrade? because every time I upgrade to version 3.4.x the error appears, but when I upgrade only to 3.3.0.19 the error doesn’t appear

Hi @denz_Ravenzle,

I might suggest sticking with the latest 3.3.0-x and then jumping right from there to 3.5.0-x, which uses a different library for API routing. We’re planning to release 3.5.0 in Q1 2025 anyway, and it will be our next LTS (long-term support) release, so it’ll last you well. It replaces the Slim dependency with Laravel for API routing, so won’t experience the problem.
