Troubles with install ojs 3.1.2

Software Support
1

Hello,

I can’t install ojs 3.1.2.
php 7.1.29
Apache / 2.4.39
MySQL 5.7.26

When I click the “Install Open Journal Systems” button, I see loading animation, but nothing else happens, there are no errors, page not reloading.

php_error.log:

Hi @Flickq

Those are warnings, and are just cosmetic. There should be a “fatal error” in there some place if the installation isn’t working.

Are you getting a blank page? Just a spinner? Are your directory permissions set correctly?

Cheers,
Jason

No, the page remains the same, without reloading or transition, all form data is saved.

Interesting. Have you tried the PHP command line interface for installing OJS? There’s a script in the tools/ directory that can be run with:

php tools/install.php

That might provide more information.

Cheers,

Amazing!

OJS is installed, without any problems, using command line

Thank you very much!
