Yes, that's absolutely fine, no reason why you cannot do that.

I believe that is still valid.

Override campaign (always shown before other campaigns) with a daily limit for the campaign?

Campaigns start/stop at midnight. Timezone depends on the server being set up correctly, and PHP timezone being set correctly. Timezone for the start/stop actions then depends on user preference in the Revive Adserver UI. Check that scheduled maintenance is set up!

Hi, Do you get the same error when trying to do a clean install, rather than an update? Or just when doing an update?

Hi @dallaybatta, Drop me a DM via the forums, and I'll see what I can do to help.

And once Revive Adserver has been correctly set up to allow access via HTTPS, then: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Banners+Not+Delivering+over+SSL

Yep, no reason why it would not from my point of view.

What's the video player that you are using to play the video with that you want to add the ad to?

I'm pretty sure if you navigate down through the statistics pages, there's a view that allows you to view the zones used for a banner?

If that's working, try the whole banner again now - the banner only wraps a click URL around the image, so, perhaps it was something else that caused the issue the first time?

Try just putting the IMG URL into a test email, and see if it works?

Okay, so the documentation for this player has this: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/shortcode-parameters#ads So looks like you use the "vast" tag to contain the link to the video ad in Revive Adserver, and then use one of "preroll", "postroll" or "midroll" to define when the video ad should play, along with any of the other options you want.

Let me know what video player you are using, and I'll take a look. I think expanding our docs to include specific, popular video players would be a good idea, if I can find some time...

Yep, HTML banner with wildcard sizes would be my first suggestion!

Shows you what I know ?

Hard to be sure, but looks like there were some permissions issues and possible database access issues as part of the initial installation. Also, I'm not sure if the use of checking the code into git, and then checking it out on the server you're installing it on might have affected things? Anyway, take a look at https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Directory+Permissions for the list of directories (and all files/directories underneath these) that must be able to be written to by the web server. Also, please make sure that your database connection has full access to the Revive Adserver database.

I think the info is here: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/HTML5+banners

No, I don't think that's an option at the moment, unfortunately.

Hi @Moshe L, See: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Creating+a+Campaign#CreatingaCampaign-Contractcampaigns If you are using just the priority values, then try actually setting specific targets - that will get you more control over exactly what you deliver.

Actually, I don't think you did say it before - this is the first time that I remember you saying specifically what you have done in terms of setup. So - now that I know that you installed Revive Adserver using the IP address of 127.0.0.1, and you're trying to access it using a different IP address - then finally, your "problem" makes sense. This is intentional behaviour. Please see: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Managing+Configuration+Files

It's been a while since I used MyISAM, but I suspect the issue is not slow queries - once the queries get access to the table, they should run quickly enough. The issue will be that while any once process is writing to a table, all other access to the table will be locked at that time. That could be why you get threads timing out - they just don't get a chance to access the table for their query, as others have the table locked the whole time, and eventually, the thread is timed out. MyISAM might have a reporting option on locking or queuing that may be more relevant than slow queries - take a look there perhaps before committing to InnoDB? I would definitely stop your web server and halt all database activity during the backup and migration process!

Best I can offer at this stage, I am afraid, is to review the sparse documentation we do have for developers on our docs site (see link in my footer), and use a good IDE with a GUI debugger to walk through the code.

Not sure, but this might only work if it's a localmode invocation tag? And it definitely won't work in the append code, if that's what you mean (as per the title of the topic).
