Hi,
i upgraded to ojs 3.0 but seem to have some issues with my database. The installation looks fine, but when I upgrade the old database (it says the uprading was successful) everything gets strange.
ojs uploader doesn’t work anymore and the whole setup wizard is not working or stucks while loading. It also seems that only some of the articles are can be found but not a single article can be opened.
I tried it again and again but the results are always the same.
Otherwise, it sounds like you’re having trouble with your file storage area. Did you get any warnings during upgrade? Have you ensured that your file permissions are appropriate per docs/README?

Hi Alec
thanks for the reply. If I understand it correctly the patch asks me to change two lines in PKPTemplateManager.inc.php. Unfortunately this does not solve the problem with my wizard. The permissions are set as they should and i did not get any warnings during upgrade.
Lines like the one you quoted above indicate that the upgrade process was looking for a file in order to move it but was unable to locate it. If you have 500 lines like this it would explain why you can’t open published content – the upgrade process wasn’t able to locate it.
Can you check if a file with that name is in your files directory somewhere? (The ? symbols will match any single character.)

many files were indeed missing. I think there was a problem with uploading the files. I uploaded
the missing files and upgraded the the database again. This did work (though
all files are downloaded, not viewed) .
But the issue with the wizard remains and I can access neither the plugings nor other website settings.
I suspect that the PDF.js plugin is disabled, which would explain why PDFs are downloading rather than viewing within the site (presuming you’re talking about PDFs). I see you’re mentioning the settings wizard – are you able to access the settings outside of the wizard, by using the sidebar (e.g. Settings > Website > Plugins)?

Hi Alec,
unfortunatley I can’t find a way to access the settings of plugins (or most of the other settings). The strange thing is that it is not only pdf files but also html files of our articles that are downloading rather than viewed.
Would there be any other way to export data from an old ojs to a ojs3? For example via exporting the issues (we only have nine issues so far) and everything works fine with an empty sql database?
Hi Alec,
when I access the setup the “journal” area looks fine but most tabs the “website” area have problems. The uploader for the logo and other element do not work (though the uploader for the footer and the further content do work)
when it comes to “themes” I encounter stuff like “##plugins.themes.default.option.typography.label##”
And I think there are other parts missing of this tab missing
Tabs like “language” and “plugins” are not loaded at all. parts of the announcements are loaded
Other tabs like “static pages” do work sometimes but most of the times nothing happpens.
In the errorlog I find:
[20-Oct-2016 08:55:10 Europe/Berlin] PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/suburban/public_html/ojs3/sys/lib/pkp/classes/core/ArrayItemIterator.inc.php on line 133

Ensure that the items_per_page and page_links settings in your config.inc.php are valid (and not zero); likewise, check these settings in the Appearance form.

Can you check for Javascript errors when trying to view the problem tabs? There’s a guide for doing this depending on which browser you’re using e.g. here.

Hi Alec,
this looks promising! I get errors like this
Without knowing what I am looking at I was surprised to see something that looks like German expressions in the error "Informationen(eigen). Does that mean anything?
Hmm, yes, those brackets are causing trouble. I don’t see “Informationen(eigen)” in the codebase, though I do think I recall seeing phrases like that show up in the German locale some time ago. Could this be something you’ve entered? @mtub, do you recall seeing/adding/removing these? (For the record, the problem is that the brackets need escaping, I’m just trying to track down where they’re coming from so I can replicate the problem locally.)

this is strange. I just created a new journal within the same installation. An this “test”
journal seems to work perfectly well. this uploader looks good and plugins are loaded and so forth Though I need my old journal to work.
…/index.php/test/management/settings/website is ok
…/index.php/suburban/management/settings/website is broken
I just realized that this “informationen(eigen)” is the name of one of our own customized block plugins.
I deleted the plugin from the running ojs database but still get the same message
