Hi PKP forum,
I am in Editor-in-Chief for a new journal that will commence in late 2018 (www.saunaresearch.org), and am doing DIY installation of OJS3.
The current URL has a “Coming Soon” page (running via WordPress), and I want to leave this here until the OJS page is fully configured. So I am trying to install OJS on a local host to play around with it first.
However, it is not installing properly. The first “OJS Installation” page is loading fine, but when I fill out the details, it keeps flagging this error in the Username field: “The administrator username can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens, and must begin and end with an alphanumeric character.”
The username is just “Admin”, so it should meet the rules.
Does anyone have advice for how to solve this problem? I am wondering if it might be happening because I’m trying the install on a local host. I’ve done this with WordPress before without issue, but maybe there is something I’m missing with OJS.
Thanks!
Jack
