I need help on two fronts and would like the work completed in one coordinated session so downtime is minimal. First, my Open Journal Systems (OJS) installation has suddenly stopped loading—browsers spin without delivering a page. The issue may be connected to an incompatible PHP version (this has been the cause in the past). Please trace whatever is preventing OJS from responding, whether that involves correcting virtual-host directives, updating [login to view URL], clearing OJS caches, or adjusting PHP/Apache settings. Second, a different site is hosted on NameCheap and its PositiveSSL certificate has expired. We have other domains under the same NameCheap account that use NameCheap's built-in SSL (as far as I know). You will need to configure SSL so the padlock appears again across the site. Deliverables: • Valid, active SSL installed on the NameCheap site (HTTPS green padlock on all endpoints). Hopefully at no extra cost (use provided SSL if possible). • OJS front-end and admin dashboard load normally without errors or endless spinning • A brief summary of what was fixed so I can keep records for future renewals and maintenance I will provide NameCheap and OJS credentials as soon as we start.

Hi, To address the NameCheap SSL renewal and OJS fix, I will first troubleshoot the OJS loading issue by checking for PHP version compatibility, updating config files, and adjusting server settings if necessary. For the NameCheap SSL, I will ensure a valid SSL is installed for the site, enabling the green padlock across all endpoints. Let's discuss further to coordinate the session seamlessly.

Hello there, I can handle both fixes in one coordinated session to keep downtime minimal—first restoring your Open Journal Systems installation by tracing the root cause (PHP compatibility, server config, cache, or application settings), and then resolving the expired PositiveSSL on your Namecheap hosted site so HTTPS is active again across all pages. My focus will be on diagnosing quickly, applying stable fixes, and making sure both systems are fully functional without disrupting existing configurations. Once complete, I’ll provide a clear summary of what caused the issues, what was fixed, and any maintenance recommendations so future renewals or server changes are easier to manage. Here is my portfolio: https://www.freelancer.in/u/sainiji92 My current schedule is open, so I can begin working on your project right away and give it the attention it deserves. Let’s come to chat for further discussion. Kind regards, Pankaj

Hi, this project involves critical system recovery and SSL renewal requiring precise coordination to minimize downtime. The primary engineering risk lies in diagnosing the root cause of the OJS front-end failure and ensuring seamless SSL reconfiguration without service interruption. I usually structure troubleshooting by isolating configuration layers—PHP version compatibility, virtual host setup, and cache states—before applying fixes. I’ve conducted deep codebase reviews and system integrations in live environments, as seen in my Custom Feature Development & Integration project. I recommend separating the SSL renewal process from OJS troubleshooting to allow parallel verification and rollback if needed. This approach reduces risk and ensures a clean, maintainable configuration. Though not directly related to LLM systems, I approach reliability by verifying system states before and after changes, documenting fixes comprehensively for future maintenance. Systems I support are designed for long-term production use with clear diagnostics and minimal downtime. I can outline the diagnostic steps for OJS, map the SSL renewal flow, and review virtual host configurations to ensure a smooth, coordinated session. Thanks, Hercules

Hey — I've dealt with both of these exact issues before. OJS spinning endlessly is almost always a PHP version mismatch or an Apache/vhost misconfiguration, I'll trace it through error logs and get it loading properly. For the NameCheap SSL, I'll check if your account has free PositiveSSL included (most do), reissue and install it so you get the green padlock back. Can do both in a single session, minimal downtime. How soon are you available to share credentials so we can knock this out?
