Submission and Review Tab have blank page

We’re currently running into an issue on an OJS (3.0.2) instance. My server is PHP5.6.40.

When we go to Settings > Workflow > Submissions or review, the tab is blank (others are loading fine). Many reviewers are seeing blank pages when they go into a review.

The error in console is :
Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Hello, I’m encountering the same problem when trying to access Users Page.

This is the recent error_log. I’m using PHP 5.6.

Hi @Bugy_Ardhytio,

I’m using OJS 3.1.0.1.

I’m sorry

Hi @Bugy_Ardhytio,

I don’t think any of the messages you quoted have to do with the Users page. I’d suggest visiting that page again to trigger the error then looking in your PHP error log immediately to see if any relevant errors appear.

Hi @asmecher

Okay. I’ll try.

Hi @Bugy_Ardhytio,

Those are not relevant either – they are just warnings, and will not affect the operation of the system.

In the end I just upgrade to the new version 3.2.1-2, and it works.

Thanks for your hint @asmecher

i dont have access to php error log. this just happened to one of my journal. because this page have multiple journal in it and only one journal having this issue.

Hi @Veliyana_L.A,

You should definitely have access to your error log – it’ll be very hard to debug OJS without it.
