Description

OMP 3.5 RC2 installation ends with error 500 after sending the form.
If I try to run OMP after that crashed installation process I get also an error 500, because there is no database entry in versions table with the product-type "core" and the product "omp".

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download omp-3.5.0rc2.tar.gz from http://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/download/omp-3.5.0rc2.tar.gz
2. Extract to /var/www/html
3. Create a files directory and an empty database and a database user
4. Go to /var/www/html/omp-3.5.0rc2
5. Run: php -S localhost:8000
6. Open http://localhost:8000 in browser
7. Input all data to form
8. Click on "Install Open Monograph Press"

Expected Result

Finishing the installation process and after that a running OMP application.

Actual Result

A white page and error 500.

Server: Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS, PHP 8.3, Mysql 8.0.41, Apache2
Client: Firefox 136.0.1

If I try to run http://localhost/omp-3.5.0rc2 in a browser after that crashed installation process I also get an error 500 and apache log tells:

Reason is a missing database entry in versions table with the product-type "core" and the product "omp".
