Yes - it uses whatever PHP is configured to use: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Email

Okay, so you will only see a banner 50% of the time - load the zone tag a few more times and see if it shows up after a while. If not, check your delivery limitations and capping to make sure that's not preventing it from displaying for you.

No. An upgrade won't re-create any default users. If you have changed users (removed them, added them, etc.) they will be preserved by the upgrade.

You will need to use third party tags that support HTTPS -- assuming the third party actually does so. If they do not, then it won't work.

Try ensuring that all files, and subdirectories, underneath the Revive Adserver var/ directory are correctly set to be able to be written to by the webserver.

There's no need to change the RV.php file if you're running the latest version of Revive Adserver - that bug has been fixed. If the maintenance page says that maintenance is running, all is well - apart from the missing stats. We will have to look elsewhere... Do you see anything appearing in your data_bkt_m table in your database (if you do a "SELECT * FROM data_bkt_m") as delivery of your banners is happening?

One last try: Please take a look at the probability % values for those banners in the relevant zone(s) and tell us what you see.

No idea! What does your log file say?

The Revive Adserver team don't maintain an Azure package. Where are you finding this?

Can you please post a link to a site where it's not working? Or is this for an internal site only, given that it's installed and running on localhost?

My advice would be to add a remnant campaign to the zone. Revive really only works when it knows about all the inventory, and unfortunately, doesn't currently log blank impressions; so you need a remnant campaign there to take up any "spare" inventory and let Revive figure out your real inventory to do a decent job of delivering contract campaigns.

Sounds good! Can you please create an issue in GitHub (ideally, with a pull request too!) Thanks.

Please note that statistics in Revive Adserver are not real-time. You'll need to wait for maintenance to run after the hour is completed before you will see anything appear.

Always interested in pull requests on GitHub! Please by all means, send them through!

Happy to accept pull requests on GitHub!

Yeah, you'll have to trace the code execution with e.g. xdebug, so that you can see where the page submission goes, and add in your support for processing the input to the code. (And then manually manage that change with every upgrade.)

Hi Martin, 1. Yes, it can, and I think XML-RPC is probably the best way to do this. 2. I don't think so, unfortunately. The SPC functionality is only done for JavaScript. 3. Documentation is slowly in progress! (No help now, I know, but if you have specific questions about it, ask away, and we will do what we can.)

Sounds more like you need to ask your hosting provider how to figure out your database username/password, and ensure that the right permissions are available for Revive Adserver to create tables etc.

Should be possible. Just create an HTML banner, and pop the supplied code in - it works for most ad network banners.

Statistics and priorities are only updated hourly, when maintenance runs. Please see documentation!

More likely is that APC didn't correctly cope with the change in files for the upgrade, and clearing the APC cache would have worked? You may find it works again with a cleared out APC cache in place...

I would check the location & permissions for your image storage folder, as you're uploading to the webserver.

Quite possibly! First thing I would check is - do the Adsense banners appear in the Revive UI when you preview the banners? If that is okay, take a look at the zone probability page - do the banners have a non-zero probability? Is the sum of all probabilities for the zone 100%, or is it less (i.e. are you just happening to see blank impressions because you're only using a small part of your inventory by not including a remnant campaign?) HTH.

Back in the day, when Revive Adserver was OpenX Source (around about version 2.6 I think), conversion tracking was done server side. The problem is that the storage requirements for all the data just got too large when you had more than a trivially sized installation. So, everything was moved to be cookie based. I honestly can't see us changing things to work in a non-cookie way. But I suspect you probably could make calls to Revive as you have suggested - or, if all else fails, just write the appropriate data to the database!

Hi, As above, sorry, but we need more information. Post some screenshots of the campaign and banner details for those banners that are not delivering? Also, take a look at the probability % values for those banners in the relevant zone(s) and tell us what you see. Thanks.
