Internal Server Error when publishing journal issue

[wheressteve]

Hey Guys,

I am trying to publish a journal issue.

While the table of contants is showing on the journal homepage I am receiving an internal server error on each journal link.

http://www.holisticed.org.au/index.php/IJHE/index shows the TOC of the published journal

However clicking on an article e.g. http://www.holisticed.org.au/index.php/IJHE/article/view/4

geta the following error:

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Checking the error logs I can see the below:

==> access_log <==
124.148.189.83 - - [06/Feb/2013:06:31:16 +0000] "GET /index.php/IJHE/article/view/4 HTTP/1.1" 500 -

==> error_log <==
[Wed Feb 06 06:31:16 2013] [error] [client 124.148.189.83] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getDisableComments() on a non-object in /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/classes/article/Article.inc.php on line 445, referer: http://holisticed.org.au/index.php/IJHE

I have no idea what might be causing this. I have checked the forums and not found anything similar.

The OJS installation is on a bitnami instance (bitnami.org). Might his be doing something funky to the URL's?

Thanks,
Steve

Sorry.

I am using 2.3.6.0

Thanks

Hi Steve,

The code that is generating that error is failing because it does not have a section for the article. I would have a look at your site but it appears as though you need to be registered in order to view the table of contents. Can you confirm that the article is in a valid section? Also, if you have access to you database, there is a column called "section_id" in the articles table that should contain a number. That number should correspond to a record in the sections table.

Regards,
Jason

Something else you can try. If you can edit the file:

Code: Select all

classes/article/Article.inc.php


On line 444, change the true to false and see if that fixes the problem. I have a feeling that there may be a issue with the way caching is working on your installation.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll give it a go and let you know.

Thanks Jason.

Something had happened to the sections so this fixed the error.

As an added bonus, changing line 444 from true to false, fixed some other problems I have been having.

very happy all around
