Dear admin and friends
I just want to know how to upgrade ojs version using patch 2.3.6.0 to 2.4.8 practically. I haven’t found yet the tutorial specifically about that. I am sorry if this topic has discussed before, may be someone could help me or just give the link which I can attempt it. Thanks
Hi @azwarmuin
Your OJS version is quite old and would be advisable perform an full upgrade to lates OJS2 version.
But if you can’t do that, I recommend to read also this section:
https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_download/ojs-patches/
From OJS 2.4.5 patches, you will have to run patches on different folders , not only on OJS install folder but also on pkp-lib folder.
To apply a patch you will need use command:
patch
With correct options according to version, as said, starting at 2.4.5 all patches should be applied with the -p1 option from within the OJS installation directory and patches against the PKP library should be applied with the -p1 option from within the lib/pkp subdirectory
I.e.:
server@ojs-folder$ patch -p1 < ojs-2_4_5-0.ojs-stable-2_4_5.diff
