I successfully update OJS system. And had practical cases.
OJS 3.1.1-4 work best, PHP version was 5. (Journal have Ukrainian and Russian issues.
First I backup all data and database.
Then I change PHP to version 7.3
Then download new OJS 3.12-1 and edit file config.inc. Copy the server, database settings from old confg.inc to new.
The main moments are set
client_charset = utf-8
connection_charset = utf8
database_charset = utf8
force_ssl = On
force_login_ssl = On
Then PHP 7.3 requires change
driver = mysqli
In database PHPmyAdmin i set utf8_unicode_ci
Then i must delete Folder OpenAire from folder Plugins/Generic, because during upgrade I receive message about downgrading plugin.
This moments help me solve Internal server error 500, problem with correct show russian characters set, problem with stopping and freezing update.
Now all work.
