So this answers means that nothing is going to be done to make this compatible from the devs? I know there is a solution but I prefer not to "play" out of the standard install so the upgrades and updates are easier to apply. Can we expect a core fix for this in near future?

yeah, it was some files missing. Everything worked fine after that.

Hi, I am not sure if the reason is that I have not change the database, but I cannot make the upgrade to launch from the "new" folder. I have double check everything on the steps and appart of the database clone everything is like the guide says it should be. I have tried deleting everything and start over more than 4 times right now. Is there anything to change on the config files if the database is not changing? Any other ideas? Thanks I think I found the issue, there was a problem with my upload and some files were missing on the new version. testing again! Wish me luck!

Edit. I had some files missing. Everything worked fine after that.

Hi Erik, Thank you for your fast reply. What I am doing is cloning the whole instance so the server will be working too when I am doing the upgrade. So, once I have a new install to work with, copy again the folder seems a little too much for me. :)

Hi, I know that the instructions for upgrade requires to make a copy on a subfolder and using a different database for it. I would like to be able to upgrade the server without that step, but I am not sure if this will work. The main issue is that I am using a managed server with only one database so it is not that easy to copy the info. I am not sure if the plugins step can be done manually: " After the database changes have been completed, the upgrade wizard will display the folder path of the ‘old’ copy of the ad server. Since we’re actually working in a temporary folder, this should in fact be the folder path of the current, live version of the system. Check and confirm that the path is correct. The upgrade wizard will now find out which plugins are installed in the current version and then install the same set of plugins in the new version. During this step, it will even check if there are any new versions of any of the plugins and if so, it will install those instead of the older versions. Some plugins will actually create or update tables for their own use. " Thanks

I am getting this error on my server: PHP Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in MYSERVER/BLABLABLA/variables.php on line 67 This file is on the main folder of the app and the line is: // Always use UTC when outside the installer if (substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], -11) != 'install.php') { // Save server timezone for auto-maintenance $GLOBALS['serverTimezone'] = date_default_timezone_get(); OA_setTimeZoneUTC(); } Not sure if the problem is on my server, but didnt happen with any other app. Thanks

Hey Erik, Thats exactly right. Thank you for taking your time helping here, it is really appreciate because you know your business better than anyone. Some comments: I never said I want to block the costumer, when I said cap I was thinking on billing numbers, to make sure we have prices for the different "limits". I only need to know the numbers to change the plan for the next bill. Also, I agree with you I do not need real time, just check every 24 hours is fine as I said on my latest comment. In fact, checking the ammount at the end of the month is more than enough, and charge for that ammount. All this brings us to the first question: How can I measure the request made on a month (or the latest 24h?) Thanks!

Yes, that is a good idea. how do I clear the cache? Restart the server is not a good idea as the same server is the one serving ads to the production site. Thanks

I found the settings. They are on banner configuration. I need to change that now because we are on a dev site testing the code for the ads, so we need to be able to see the changes. I set 5 minutes and I will replace that in the future. 20 minutes is a lot if you need to change something on one ad. Any method to shuffle or clear the cache when a change like that is made? Any other cache method that can be used instead of this one? Thanks

Yes of course. I am using this post (thank you!) http://www.reviveconsultant.com/articles/single-page-call-advanced-implementation/ I am able to load the zones on my website. I have 8 zones per page, all of them present allways and I will use one or another depending on the campaign and the config on the adserver. My code is like this (but with 8 zones) On head: http://www.reviveconsultant.com/articles/single-page-call-advanced-implementation/ header: <script type='text/javascript'><!--// <![CDATA[ var OA_zones = { 'zone_name_1' : X, 'zone_name_2' : Y, 'zone_name_3' : Z } // ]]> --></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.example.com/revive/www/delivery/spcjs.php'></script> Body: <script type='text/javascript'><!--// <![CDATA[ OA_show('zone_name_1'); // ]]> --></script> This works perfect. By the way. Now I want to put the variables here to use them on my banners on the adserver. Example: variable1=values So I read all this on the forum related to JS: http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/4-custom-var-targeting/ http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1547-displaying-banners-based-on-keywords-in-a-users-search-search-string/ http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1581-requesting-ads-by-ad-theme-or-classification/ and this related to php http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1380-how-pass-custom-variables-in-php/ But If I use the document.write ("&amp;variable="value"); Suggested it only print that code on the page, not on the zone url, so it does not work. How should we add the variables using the single page call? Thanks you!

What is the response to this?

Hi, I am trying to add some variables to my page so I can limit the banners shown there. I was trying to use the single page invocation code but I am not able to send the variables using this method. Any help? Thanks

When I made a change on the adserver, it takes a lot of time to be reflected on the website. I can control website cache (is off) and browser cache (cleaned every time) but is there any type of cache on adserver? How can I clean it to make sure the change goes instantly to the ads. This is for the case when I have made a mistake with a banner and I want to fix it asap. Thank you

I have found that on the reporting there is a nice view of the impressions by account. Not the requests though. Do you know how can I get that number on real time, on the database or via API? The idea is to check that number every 24hours and automatically send a notification or create a bill or do something with it. I know how to do the notification and billing, I just need to know where to get the data from the Adserver. Thanks
