Richard Foley got a reaction from andrewatfornax in New Way To Hack Database?
Human engineering is almost always going to be the most common cause, Duff, default, or easy to guess, passwords, and the like...

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in Plugin Not Installed
Hi @Lee,
No, when you first download the Revive Adserver package, there will not be anything in either the plugins/ or the www/admin/plugins directories. These are places where files are created as plugins are installed into Revive Adserver, once the core system is up and running. The graphical Revive Adserver installer takes care of installing all of the default plugins that are included with the package as one of the final installation steps.
All of these default plugin packages (stored as .zip files) can be found in the etc/plugins of the directory structure when the Revive Adserver package is first unpacked.

Well, that's one of those things, isn't it?
Creating an all new plugin for Revive Adserver to handle a new way of detecting browsers etc. might take someone who knows what they are doing a month or so of effort? Unfortunately, we don't have any corporate sponsors who want to pay myself (or the other core team members who donate their time) to work full time on Revive Adserver, so, either we might chip away at this problem over the course of a year or two and get it done, and then everyone can have it for free, or, someone either needs to sponsor that specific feature on a commercial basis to be built as open source, or, someone has to take a chance, put in the time and build it, but then try to sell it for enough money to cover their costs. We all, unfortunately, need to make a living somehow!
That's why there are commercial plugins for Revive that do cost hundred, or thousands...

Agreed, that is a good idea. Would you like to create an issue for this on GitHub, please?

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in Solution for delivering to WordPress.com hosted sites
Would any of the non-JS based invocation tags be suitable in this case?

Richard Foley got a reaction from andrewatfornax in banners dont display
Self-hosted wordpress sites should be no problem for revive. It works fine with mine.
However, if you are using a wordpress.com HOSTED wordpress installation, then the explicitly disable ALL javascript on their own servers. You need to move to a different hosting provider, or maybe use a different tag, if indeed this is the problem...?

well, first I slapped my forehead when I read your reply, then I went looking for other config options and the image tag looks highly promising! Thanks for the tip, Andrew :)

Richard Foley reacted to Ilya Ber in How To Serve Responsive Ads?
Determine the current browser resolution and load an appropriate zone based on that using JS.
Even easier, if you are using single call invocation, you can just pre-populate the Zone ID list - here is a good example.

Will certainly check it out soon.

Richard Foley got a reaction from Ian in Spam in forum
There's an irregular amount of spam on the site, admins need to spend a little more time cleaning up, or you need more admins :)

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in Monitor Or Limit Impressions For An Account
Hi @angelfplaza,
Revive Adserver can track requests, as well as impressions. It's there as an option.
It may be that you simply need to enable tracking of requests, and/or including requests in the stats screen configuration.

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in Performance issues and VPS going down twice a day
Hi @Meo,
Well, PHP actually starts up and shuts down completely on each page load - so, it's not like a continuously running Java or C application or something where memory leaks are an issue. However, your web server may not start up and shut down a processing thread for every page load, for efficiency reasons, and so PHP memory management issues may build up as a result.
You could look at the settings for your web server's thread management, as you can often configure things like how many web requests each web server thread should handle before it is shut down and a new one started up - this may help, if the issue is a slow growth of total memory being used.
The other thing, however, may just be that your web server is configured to allow more threads to be started up (when needed) than the server can cope with, and so this issue is happening due to a periodic increase in traffic to the server?

That looks ok now, Matteo, thanks for the feedback. Maybe it was a temporary glitch, these things happen. I know

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in One Adserver, Multiple Ad Domains
Hmmm, this is a third, but more complex need that I wasn't originally thinking of!
The issue here is that Revive Adserver only has the concept of one set of URLs to use, so, to make something like this work, you'd have to have one install set up, with two completely different sets of URLs for the UI and delivery, and then make sure that you log into the correct UI to generate invocation tags.
But, in theory, I think this would work:

Please let me know if not, I may have mis-remembered the ordering of the config file entries...

Richard Foley got a reaction from andrewatfornax in After that I click "I Agree" does not show me any mistake and I can not continue. Why?
There are a lot of "permission denied" errors to be seen, relating to creating/writing to the sessions file. I'd start with that...

Richard Foley got a reaction from andrewatfornax in Using Revive with Booking.com
Got it. I need to enable PHP execution within ads to enable magic macros. I believe I've seen this described is a security risk somewhere, so am not so happy about doing this on the live server without more research. Nevertheless, thanks, Ian for your assist with the clickurl parameter! :)

You need to read about affiliate publishers in the very good Revive documentation on websites: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Websites

Richard Foley reacted to andrewatfornax in One Adserver, Multiple Ad Domains
Yes! Revive Adserver can do a number of things with multiple domains:
1. You can have multiple, but completely independent installations running out of one code base (but with different databases); or more commonly (and usefully)
2. You can have one installation running, but deliver the UI and/or banners on different domains.

Richard Foley reacted to Ian in Using Revive with Booking.com
Sure, Revive has a clickurl Macro, which you should just put in front of the URL, If I recall correctly I think it should be like :
<a href="{clickurl}//www.booking.com?aid=425828">Booking.com</a>
