Class 'Config' not found in several files - URGENT

[bragamiguel]

Hi there,

I'm the administrator of the ISEKI Food E-Journal (http://www.iseki-food-ejournal.com/ojs/) and a few days ago i've enconter the following error messages:
Fatal error: Class 'Config' not found in /home/iseki/public_html/ojs/pages/admin/AdminJournalHandler.inc.php on line 65;
Fatal error: Class 'Config' not found in /home/iseki/public_html/ojs/pages/manager/PeopleHandler.inc.php on line 416;
etc...
Wether i'm trying to access the Hosted Journals option or Users Enroled in this Journal OJS is not being able to find the 'Config' class.
I really don't know why or how to solve this issue, i've reviewd the .inc files but evething seems normal.
Can please someone help me? Many thanks!

Looing forward for your feedback,
Miguel Braga

Hi Miguel,

Have you recently tried to upgrade? You probably have old files hanging around with the same names as new ones and that is causing problems because the old ones are loaded instead. See http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5716 for a similar thread.

Hi Alec,

Thank you for your attention, but i haven't upgraded OJS, the only think that changed a few days ago was the php version of the server, from 5.2 to 5.3.
Do you believe that this change could produce the error? I'm currently analysing again the file structure, comparing it with the original file structure of the OJS version I used, but evething seems to be in place...

Hi Miguel,

It looks like you're using OJS 2.3.2. For PHP 5.3, you'll have to upgrade to 2.3.7 or newer.

Hi Alec,

Many thanks for your attention, i'm going to test a copy of our Journal in a server with PHP 5.2 just in case.
I'm also trying to figure out how to perform the upgrade, i'm finding it a bit confusing. Is there any advice that you would care to give me?

Best regards,

Hi Alec,

I've moved OJS to a php 5.2 server. the website seems to be working fine but i´m still having an issue when i try to go to "users enroled to this journal" for example.
The error is: Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in /home/iseki/public_html/ojs/pages/manager/PeopleHandler.inc.php on line 148.
Do you have a clue why this is happening?

Hi Miguel,

I'm pretty sure you have a mixture of code from two different versions of OJS. The __ function wasn't introduced until something newer than the OJS 2.3.2 you're running, so it shouldn't be referenced anywhere in the code.

Hi Alec,

Yeas, i've placed an earlier file and caused this last error.
The website is working 100% now and i've installed a copy on my test server so i can upgrade to 2.3.7; I'm trying to figure out how to perform the upgrade, i'm finding it a bit confusing. Is there any advice that you would care to give me? Do you have any tool to perform it automatically?

Thank you for your kind attention,

Hi Miguel,

Have you worked through docs/UPGRADE yet? Any particular part that's causing confusion?

Hi Alec,

Basically i don't know where to run the command $ patch -p1 --dry-run < PATCH_FILE... Sorry i'm new at this.
I want to upgrade from OJS 2.3.2.-1 to 2.3.7. so i've downloaded the respective upgrade package, wich i think it's simpler than upgrading via full installation.
Can you help me?

Miguel Braga

Hi Miguel,

No need to use the patch tool if you run the full package upgrade instead. Follow the "Full Package" instructions in docs/UPGRADE and let me know where you get stuck.

Hi Alec,

Let me describe you the steps i've made:
1. backed up the current OJS website and database;
2. made dir /upgrade/OJS on my server and place an exact copy of the website and connected to a copy of the current database;
3. downloaded 2.3.7. package;
4. made backup of current:
- config.inc.php;
- public/;
- My uploaded files directory ("files_dir" in config.inc.php).
5.uploaded 2.3.7. and edit config.ini.php line "installed = On" in order to run the database updating tool;
6. website openned and evething seemed working but the template that i've modified was completelly messed up...;
7. Copied template and CSS files from the old version to the new one;
8. Website was apparently ok but when i go to "System Information" under "Current version" i see: 2.3.2.1 (October 1, 2010 - 11:03 AM).

How is it possible? Didn't i just upgraded OJS?
Please Help!!!

Hi Alec,

I've tried to do every step again twice and when i'm upgrading the database OJS gives me the following error: DB Error: Duplicate entry 'thesisFeed-1-0-0-0' for key 'versions_pkey'.
Wouldn't be better to upgrade via command line? Is it via SSH?

Thaks again,
Miguel Braga

Hi Miguel,

If you run the database upgrade and it fails, then it'll be left somewhere between the two versions and you'll have a hard time completing the upgrade. If you encounter an error the first time through, you'll have to address it (feel free to ask us for advice here), restore your DB from backup, and run it again.
