Unable to upgrade from 2.4.4.1 to 3.1.1.4

Hello everyone,

as per the object of the thread, I am trying to upgrade an extremely old version of OJS. Unfortunately this project has been passed down to me and I don’t have much info on how it was handled before. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the hosting Platform doesn’t allow shell access, so I have to find a way to solve this without command line.

So, I did everything on the upgrade document and i launched the web based upgrade. It returned a blank page and nothing happened. After I went back I saw that it indeed did something to the MySQL database, but the process must have stopped for some reason, so I reset the database to how it was before and toggled ini_set(‘display_errors’, E_ALL); in the index.php file and I got quite a verbose output which I am copying here in the hope that someone can help me

Thank you very much!
