What is Pipenv for Python?
Why I need pipven?
Pipenv is a packaging tool for Python that solves some common problems associated with the typical workflow using pip, virtualenv, and the good old requirements.txt.
Pipenv is a dependency manager for Python projects. If you’re familiar with Node.js’ npm or Ruby’s bundler, it is similar in spirit to those tools. While pip can install Python packages, Pipenv is recommended as it’s a higher-level tool that simplifies dependency management for common use cases.
nstalling packages for your project
Pipenv manages dependencies on a per-project basis. To install packages, change into your project’s directory (or just an empty directory for this tutorial) and run:
On ubuntu:
$ mkdir myproject
$ cd myproject
$ pipenv install requests

In our case: This issue was coming because the previous version of OJS was copied in conflict with the new version – Backup the old code 3.1.1 (to not merge both version)
Start with a fresh version of OJS 3.3.0.8, use the update option
OSJ updating procedure, example from from 3.2.1.1 to 3.3.0.8
Open System Journal updating procedure, example from from 3.2.1.1 to 3.3.0.8
The most important is backuping up your old code and datase before doing anything just in case if need to downupgrading (going back).
1- Replace the old code of the OJS with new code – keep the old config.inc.php (for the parameters)
2- Change on “installed” from “On” to “Off” on config.inc.php
3- Browse to your journal, for ukgoodbye.co.uk/ojs and the OJS should show the installation page
4- OJS update procedure
To update your current OSJ you should see, “if you are upgrading an existing installation of OJS, click here to proced.”
This procedure was used to update the OJS version 3.2.1.1 to OJS 3.3.0.8

Login Sessions Timing Out on OJS Current version: 3.3.0.8 (October 12, 2021 – 08:41 PM)
It is that hte login Sessions Timing Out on OJS 3.3.0.8 probably a matter of adjusting your PHP configuration, e.g. the gc_maxlifetime setting. If you’re behind a proxy, you may also want to try disabling session_check_ip in config.inc.php.
Some sessions variables:
Number of days to save login cookie for if user selects to remember
(set to 0 to force expiration at end of current session)
session_lifetime = 30
This check will invalidate a session if the user’s IP address changes.
Enabling this option provides some amount of additional security, but may
cause problems for users behind a proxy farm (e.g., AOL).
session_check_ip = Off
Specially if your version of the OJS is hosted Amazon that may use a load balancer in Amazon Web Services.
Solution:
The last option by changing on the config.inc.php, the session_check_ip off that solved for us.
