Software Support

Hi,

We uploaded a PDF file to Submission Library, but when try to click on the link, we get a blank page with the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getAuthorizedContextObject() on null in /var/www/journals/lib/pkp/classes/handler/PKPHandler.inc.php on line 140

Any suggestion?

Hi @haroldg!

Could you please provide some screenshots on the flow you are following in order to get that behavior? Are there any other PHP logs that are produced by that flow?

Thank you in advance!
