ojs 2.4.1 does not upload .css or image files

[dankomed]

Dear Team,

I have newly installed ojs 2.4.1 on GoDaddy server but I cannot upload .css or image files. It says error - the file is not the correct file format or upload failed.
The installation of ojs 2.3.7 on the same GoDaddy server however correctly uploads both images and .css files.
Both ojs 2.3.7 and ojs2.4.1 config.inc.php files contain this code:
[finfo]
mime_database_path = /etc/magic.mime
Is the problem connected with misconfiguration of the mime.magic on GoDaddy server, or something else is the cause? I am wondering why the ojs 2.3.7 uploads correctly, whereas ojs 2.4.1 cannot. I checked many times the permissions, and both the /public folder as well as the files_dir folder are writable.

Hi dankomed,

I posted about your MIME issues at http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9450&p=36652#p36660.

Dear Alec, your clarification is great! I am posting here how the upload function of ojs 2.4.1 is restored for those who will have the same problem on GoDaddy server, because previous posts were a bit misleading. Actually there are at least two /classes/core/ folders in ojs. I was looking for String.inc.php in the obvious folder:
/ojs/classes/core/String.inc.php
However, the correct localization is in:
/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/core/String.inc.php

If the mime setting does not work in ojs2.4.1 the code:

Code: Select all

    if (function_exists('mime_content_type')) {

should be changed to:

Code: Select all

    if (false && function_exists('mime_content_type')) {

in order to instruct OJS not to use PHP's mime_content_type function. Now with ojs 2.4.1 working I will fix the ISSN export by the OAI.
