I downloaded OJS-3 as per:
https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/admin-guide/en/getting-started
I am trying to install on Debian-11, and did install PHP-8 and its friends & MariaDB.
unpacking and running the PHP server in that directory, from my (remote) windows machine I cannot run the install console. I get no response to a url of:
http://www.ojshost.org:8000" (name changed here…)
So I tried instead to run: “php -S ojshost.org:8000”
(just guessing, not familiar with how the PHP server works)
and then from remote the same url as above it does give a response on the server, with errors. (below)
Some searching reported that similar errors came from not having the PHP-xml module loaded, but I did (apt) install it and it is there.
“php -m” reports libxml installed.
Any hints on where to go from here?
