Software Support

Sorry I’am quite new to OJS but I have nor been able to find documentation.

I have OJS 2.4.5.0
I have downloaded OJS 2.4.8-1
Uptated the code with the new one
Changed the Installed flag to Off in the config.inc.php
I set the writing permission in all the specified dirs.
When I try to upgrade from …index.php/index/install/upgrade page I got an error 500 as he tried to open
…/index/install/installUpgrade page
I have not any intallUpgrade page in the Tool directory???

What am I missing???

Hi @Erick,

Did you check the web server’s error log when you got a 500 error? There should be something specific there to provide more information.

Hi

The error in log is:
PHP Fatal error: Class ‘DOIExportPlugin’ not found in /home/urgcnwev/public_html/test_ojs2/plugins/importexport/datacite/DataciteExportPlugin.inc.php on line 28

Hi @Erick,

Check that the contents of the following files are correct (per the OJS 2.4.8 download archive):

  • plugins/importexport/crossref/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php
  • plugins/importexport/datacite/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php
  • plugins/importexport/medra/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php

Hi

I just substitute the files but the result is the same. Still the same error…

Hi @Erick,

What do the contents of these appear to be?

Hi

plugins/importexport/crossref/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php looks OK (19K)
plugins/importexport/datacite/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php is empty
plugins/importexport/medra/classes/DOIExportPlugin.inc.php is empty
So I guess the OJS 2.4.8 download archive is not OK.
I get it from https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_download/
Where should I get a correct one?

Thanks for your time.

Erick

Hi @Erick,

What are you using to extract the archive? I suspect your archiving tool doesn’t support links inside .tar.gz files.

Hi Alec

I used WinZip to extract the archeive.

Hi @Erick,

Those three files should have the same contents. I’d suggest taking the 19k version of the file and copying it into the other two locations.
