Hello, I started upgrade of OJS 2.4.8.1 to OJS 3.0 and I have got the page in which I clicked button Upgrade Open Journal Systems. When I clicked it I see Waiting for localhost in left bottom corner and uipgrade hangs and nothing happens. please advise

Thanks

Hi @vvucic,

The upgrade is quite involved and may legitimately take a long time to run. If you’re able to run it via the command-line upgrade tool, I’d recommend doing that – it’ll give you more information during the upgrade process about what it’s working on. It’s also not at risk of being interrupted by either Apache or PHP time limits.

I have noticed that there are no back issues imported. The data from database is imported but issues and articles are not imported. Do you have any advise?
The path is correct
/home/smeitss/ojsdata
Note: smeitss is name of our account and it was exactly location as in OJS 2.4.8.1
Thanks

Hi @vvucic,

When you re-attempted the upgrade, did you restore your database first? Make sure you delete the partially-upgraded database before reloading from dump.
