There are two OSGeo Journal "landing" pages, http://www.osgeo.org/journal
and http://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal. One is probably a Drupal
page and the other is an OJS instance.

Currently, no one on the OSGeo Journal Team has editing access. Can
someone on SAC give us access? If so, Landon Blake (surveyor), Franz-
Josef Behr (fjbehr), Barend Kobben (kobben) and me could all benefit from
this.

Thanks, Eli

Comment(by EliL):

Alex has given me access to edit http://www.osgeo.org/journal.

To get access to edit OJS at http://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal we
need to help out. Specifically: 1. how to get access currently 2. make
access ssl 3. maybe roll access over to osgeo ldap 4. ensure OJS is up to
date (I think that it isn't so this would be trying a test
migration/upgrade in a test environment)

Frans-Josef and Barend, can either of you help on this or do either of you
have OJS experience?

I would like to help on the migration/update of the OJS for the OSGeo
Journal.

If I can get acces to the existing installation and a test environment (as
suggested above) I can work on it.

I've added Christian to the the shell group. Try logging in to webextra
(aka journal.osgeo.org).
For sandbox we can probably just make another folder alongside the
existing install for the new version. Update this ticket with what else
you need access to.

Thanks, I can login on the server. I found the location of the OJS
installation.

If I can get access to the config.inc.php of the OJS instance, I will be
able to solve 1. (get access). The db credentials are in the
config.inc.php.
Using the db credentials, I can assign registered Users of the OJS
instance any roles.

For 2. (make access SSL), there is already a site called 'journal-ssl'
enabled in apache2. I would have to check with the OJS instance
config.inc.php and the apache error logs, why SSL is not working already?
According the OJS documatation it is a simple boolean to set for forcing
the use of SSL...

For 3. (LDAP access), I found that this is configurable from the frontend,
and should be straight forward, if the LDAP server data is available.
http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/docs/userguide/2.3.3/siteAdministrationAuthentication.html

According 4. (OJS is up to date?), the current running version is 2.4.3,
the latest stable release of OJS is 2.4.4-1. I can try the update in a
sandbox if I can get write access to a (web accessible) folder, and a DB.

PS: Should I "accept" the ticket, to assign it to me?

You now have sudo.
Yes you can reassign the ticket but if you do I think you have to add the
list to the CC list. I can't recall if that affects main SAC tickets.

I'd get 1-3 done, then we can work on 4 in a new web folder.
