Hello, and thank you for responding. I really appreciate your help with this. Just now I attempted an upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2, but the install log gives me error messages about missing plugin files, so I aborted the attempt. Im attaching the install log.. ========================================================================= Attempting to detect an existing Openads (aka. phpAdsNew) installation...

Our php version is 5.3. Is there any other details you need to know?

Hello, first Id like to take the opportunity to say thank you to everyone involved in Revive. During this short time several of the pain-points with the old OpenX ad server have been resolved. Thank you. When upgrading Revive from one version to another we use the process that is outlined here: http://www.revive-adserver.com/support/upgrading/ In general it is very clear and easy to follow, however, every time we try to perform an upgrade something goes wrong with the plugins. They either end up uninstalled, broken or disabled, depending on what I try to do. (I'm afraid I don't really remember what I try between upgrades, the upgrades are usually quite stressful as some of the advertises strongly dislikes downtime.) We are using both some of the built in plugins as well as third party plugins. How are we supposed to handle the plugins (and third party plugins) during upgrade? Are we supposed to put the third party plugin zip files in some special directory? Should the zip files be unpacked? Should some files be copied from the old install directory to the new one?
