I installed OJS 3 a couple of days ago, and its taking each command a minute or more to respond. I am stuck completely at the first part of the create journal, where nothing seems to be happening after I click on the save button. Could someone help please? I am absolutely new to this, and don’t really have a background. Just been reading as I go along, but I’m not being able to make this sluggishness go away.
Hi @ishitamehta
There are some suggestions over on this thread. Unfortunately performance debugging can be a technical subject, so there may be some learning curve involved in figuring this out.

Yes, I am aware of that.
I tried xampp and wamp both of which presented their own issues, so I
finally opted to do it the hard way and install all the components
separately, which I was successful in doing. So I now have PHP 7.1.5,
Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.6.37. I ran the installer for OJS, and that went
smooth, but now when I try to create new journal, give it a path and click
save, nothing happens. It just goes on forever. I encountered the same
issue with xampp and I closed the window, but the next time i opened the
page, the journal was there, but completely broken. The text appeared as if
in a .txt file. I hope i’m making sense. I unfortunately didn’t save a
screenshot, but if it happens again I will send it.
Could you help with this?
I changed the max_execution_time to 300, and its made some difference, I
think. Should I change anything else in the php.ini to make it better.
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but now when I click on edit under the
journal name it says “Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned.” and
earlier it said “Localhost: The current role does not have access to this
operationThe current role does not have access to this operation”
Here’s my error log when I tried to create a journal again in the hope the
problem would sort itself out

Hi @ishitamehta,
Those warnings are harmless and can be ignored; they’ll be resolved in the next release of OJS.
I’m afraid there’s not much I can do from here to debug this myself – beyond suggesting that you double-check the file permissions in your cache directory (OJS will perform very slowly if it can’t create cache files) and recommending a *NIX-based server such as Linux, which has more favourable filesystem characteristics and will perform better. (There are users working with OJS on Windows in production, so that isn’t a complete explanation of slow performance.)

Hi,
I was able to fix all the issues. Thanks.
Is there a way for me to setup a test page on www and not have google index
it?
Hi @ishitamehta,
Do some reading on the robots.txt standard. It can prevent indexing.
