Upload galleys in pdf

[Bobby]

Hi there

We have successfully uploaded about four volumes of our journal but all of a sudden we have a problem: when uploading to galley format (a pdf because we're working with back copies), the system stops functioning. What are we doing wrong? I've tried a variety of options: uploading the layout file, a new file from my desktop (thinking that perhaps the original file is too far down the list of files and folders) - but nothing works.

Can you help?

Thanks
Bobby

Hi Bobby,

Could you check what version of OJS you're using? Older versions of 2.x were missing an index, which caused full-text indexing to be very slow. Otherwise, could you describe what you mean by "the system stops functioning"?

Hi Alec

We're using Version 2.0.2.1

What I mean by 'stopping' is that the upload takes a very long time; only reaches half-way through the little indication box and then goes to an error page. I've asked our systems administsrator to have a look.

Thanks
Bobby

Hi Bobby,

That's probably the missing index during the full-text indexing process. Ideally, I'd suggest upgrading to OJS 2.1; however, you can also correct this by executing the following statement in MySQL:

Code: Select all

CREATE UNIQUE NDEX article_search_keyword_text ON article_search_keyword_list (keyword_text);

Submit the galley again and see if it works this time. Eventually, you'll probably have to re-generate the index; try running:

Code: Select all

php tools/rebuildSearchIndex.php

Hi Alex

That's really helpful. We are planning to upgrade to the next version. I've passed on your comments to our systems administrator.

Thanks
