[Best plugin for geo targeting]

You don't need a plugin, Revive Adserver can do that out of the box, see https://www.revive-adserver.com/faq/geotargeting-with-revive-adserver/

[Calculation of CTR based on requests instead of impressions]

yes, but you can also just disable the counting of impressions ;)

@ "Log an impression every time banner is viewed" .. just untick it.

[Can't upload new banner after server migration and update]

Yeah that surely seems okay, can't tell you what the exact issue is then from this part of the screen :)

[Can't upload new banner after server migration and update]

The list of unwritable files should be written in there, e.g. : Unwritable file /folder/file

It logs that every time an error like that occurs, if it does not, it's possible that writing in debug.log is also not possible. Try reviewing your complete Revive path if your httpd can write in there. I've no idea how your setup is, so it's hard for me to guess what the exact settings should be :)

[Google Adsense & Rich Media Html Tracking]

Just use "Do not alter HTML", Adsense changes their code so often that it is hard to keep up (read impossible) creating code for clicktracking.

[Can't upload new banner after server migration and update]

Hi Steve, you can check the var/debug.log file if there is anything useful in there

Make sure your /pathtorevive/www/images/ folder is writable. e.g. : chmod 775   /pathtorevive/www/images/

[Error while Installing Revive Adserver v4.0.0 ( Database)]

Are you sure the user is allowed to create tables in the database?

[Malware and consecuences]

If you have a VAT registered company, and are able to provide SSH root access to the server you can p/m me and i can give a quote.

[Malware and consecuences]

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. The error means that something is wrong with your connection to MySQL.

This could be caused by :

- MySQL is not running.
- PHP does not have the MySQL module installed.
- The MySQL username/password (or even hostname) is not correct.

 

Verify those three options, and I'm sure you are able to login.

[Malware and consecuences]

Ok, but it's just to verify if you are able to login to that database with that username/password, so that you know that the database settings are correct.

Hi Ian, thanks for the quik respond.
Yeah, I think I got that installed. Actually I can see my database on PHP my Admin, and seem it is OK, but for some reason it does not connect properly. Thanks!

It's quite difficult to say from this point of view what the exact issue is, but it seems a quite basic one. Can you login to phpmyadmin with the same user/pass that you use in the revive config settings?

[Malware and consecuences]

Seems like you dont have the php-mysql module installed, or that MySQL is not running, or the username/password is incorrect for that specific mysql database.

[Getting blank screen / error 500 instead of update wizard]

Cool!

[Getting blank screen / error 500 instead of update wizard]

Try editing your config file in the "var/" folder.

Change :

The part which says "mysql" to "mysqli" at the following section :

 

[database]
type=mysql

[Getting blank screen / error 500 instead of update wizard]

which PHP version do you run ?

So our website (linksmagazine.com) is unable to display advertisements today. I believe the adserver is rejecting the request based on this
"https://adserver.linksmagazine.com/adserver/www/delivery/ajs.php?zoneid=1&cb=60487830152&charset=UTF-8&loc=https%3A//www.linksmagazine.com/net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

I'm able to get it to work if I remove https:// and www. from the address ( I can't get this to work in chrome, but FF and Edge allow me to do this).

Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing this? It was working and I don't think we changed anything . 

You simply have nothing running on the HTTPS port. You'd need to install mod_ssl and install a certificate.

[The session save path '/var/lib/php/session' is not writable.]

Normally it's just a path on the server. I have no idea about how Plesk handles that.

[The session save path '/var/lib/php/session' is not writable.]

mkdir /var/lib/php/session ; chown $user:$group /var/lib/php/session

 

where $user and $group are the user/group which your httpd is running on (nginx/httpd/www-user)

[Revive 3.2.5 and PHP 5.4.45]

Are you sure you installed all the correct PHP modules (zlib, pcre, xml, mysql and/or pgsql, mbstring) ?

It might work with php 5.4, but i suggest upgrading to 5.6

[Upgrade from 3.2.1 to 4.0.0 - problem, errors!]

Do you use a php caching mechanism like APC or Zend Opcache? Clearing those might help ...

We already tried it all, included different types of Captcha for registration :)

 

Regarding to your other tread, I simply don't have an answer :) Never looked in to it...

[Ads suddenly disappeared]

[Ads suddenly disappeared]

You actually posted the problem already ! It's on the right of "Reason:"

Anyway, I would contact your system administrator, it isn't (CORS header) suddenly enabled out of the blue.

(The ads work for me fine though)

It's an anti-spam measure !

The spammers wont get the approved flag :)
