Hi @Akshar_Pandey,

What URL are you trying to access when you see a 404 error?

hello @asmecher i am trying to access the index page.

asmecher · June 14, 2017, 12:07am

Hi @Akshar_Pandey,

I suspect you may be missing some files in your OJS installation. Make sure that all the files from the .tar.gz file are present.

hey @asmecher i just figured out that i am also unable to access any page not just the index after the OJS upgrade and i made sure that all files from OJS 3.0.2 tar.gz are there.
I am not sure what is the problem.

asmecher · June 14, 2017, 7:14pm

Hi @Akshar_Pandey,

Your system is behaving as if the page handler classes, e.g. pages/index/IndexHandler.inc.php, don’t exist. If those files do seem to exist and file permissions allow OJS to load them, is there some other server configuration that might explain it, like an URL rewriting configuration?

Hey @asmecher I finally was able to figure out what all happened.
So when I had OJS 2.4.8 somehow the option to show my journal publically was unchecked but it was still working and as soon as I upgraded it sent out 404, So i had to first stop the redirect and then later on login into the backend and enable the journal.

Hope this helps to anyone in the future.

Thank you for the support.

Hi @Akshar_Pandey,

Ah, good spotting – yes, that’s expected behavior.

Hi @Tiziano,

The user in this case was trying to access the homepage for a journal that was marked “disabled”. If it’s the same issue, you should be able to log in as administrator and enable the journal.

Hi Alec! mmmh i don’t know if it is the same issue, because, i upgraded OJS from 2.4.6 to 3.0.2, and after update when i try access to index page OJS send me 404 Not Found. Can you help me?
