Upgrading to 3.4.0-3 - php error when running upgrade.php upgrade

[tbca]

Hi!

I’m currently upgrading to 3.4.0 on our system (from 3.3.0.14
).I’m done with all configuration and when I run the upgrade script (sudo php upgrade.php upgrade).

I get the following error message at the terminal:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class “PKPUserImportExportPlugin” not found in /var/www/informationr_ojs/htdocs/plugins/importexport/users/UserImportExportPlugin.inc.php:18

The server is running PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

Do I miss any PHP extension or anything?

Hi @tbca,

Did you accidentally mix your 3.3.0-x and 3.4.0-x codebases together? I see some .inc.php suffixes in the stack trace, but they should be .php in 3.4.0-x.

Yes maybe I did. We use to copy the plugins directory when we update. I was actually thinking this might be the problem, since it’s a file in the plugins folder.

Do we actually need to copy the plugins directory when upgrading?

Hi @tbca,

No, you shouldn’t copy the plugins directory; many plugins are included in OJS, and copying the old directory will result in out of date files being mixed in with the new version.
