@jhrockers I'm sorry, I can't possibly debug and fix the banners for all the Revive Adserver users. My suggestion would be to hire someone with basic JS / HTML5 skills who should be able to fix the code for you.

Assuming you can control your invocation code output for new visitors, you could use Delivery Options to target source=new-visitor. And like Andrew said, use override campaign to make sure they are highest priority.

This is due to bots. Bots most often won't execute js tags but will follow <img> (logging beacon) and <a> (click tracker). You can confirm this by looking at your web server logs.

Ok, I found it. It's just a * to put in the size.
So for my Skyscrapers it is     * x 600px and for the banners    468 x * px. The Size with * is a free size and the banner is also put in the correkt zone, by knowing the other size.

@andrewatfornax haha that's completely understandable! I'm coming back to my adserver in ~February so will respond then.

Hi @bogdao,
You can find all the supported banner types listed here: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Creating+a+Banner

Configure CDN Origin to be your revive /www/images
In Revive admin
Configuration > Banner Delivery Settings > update Image Store URLs to your CDN URL

Usage example for refreshing javascript async invocation tags.
Got it working like so
HTML
    <div class="ad-300x250" id="ad-300x250-1">
        <ins data-revive-zoneid="153" data-revive-id="b7c2bd3ff3b3bed3a9daa932a43cc2a8"></ins>
        <script async src="https://ra.example.com/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
    </div>
    <div class="ad-300x250" id="ad-300x250-2">
        <ins data-revive-zoneid="154" data-revive-id="b7c2bd3ff3b3bed3a9daa932a43cc2a8"></ins>
        <script async src="https://ra.example.com/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>
    </div>
JS
    // placements to refresh
    var adSlots = ['#ad-300x250-1', '#ad-300x250-2'];
    // remove data-revive-loaded attribute
    for (var i = adSlots.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        $(adSlots).find('ins').removeAttr('data-revive-loaded');
    }
    // refresh the ads (use your data-revive-id)
    reviveAsync.b7c2bd3ff3b3bed3a9daa932a43cc2a8.refresh();
    // if your data-revive-id starts with number, access like so
    //reviveAsync['7bc2bd3ff3b3bed3a9daa932a43cc2a8'].refresh();

Andrew,
 
Thank you for the response. I might have found a workaround that has been successful for the last 48 hours:
 
1. Create a new ad zone and set the wildcards for the height and width -- "*".
2. Create a new Google Adsense banner and set its height and width to something arbitrary. I chose 800x133, because that seemed close to the proportions of their full-sized Native ad format. 
3. Assign the new Adsense Native banner to the new ad zone that has the wildcards for its height and width.
The Native ad format seems to be getting displayed and tracked properly on some test pages I created.
 
Just a workaround. Maybe in a future release, Revive might have an even greater solution. :)
 
Thanks!

can anybody suggest how to install Banner Delivery Logging Plugin ?

The banner impression doesn't get stored in my Adserver. I found that "Banner Delivery Logging Plugin" could be missing from revive documentation. And yes it's missing in my Adserver. How can I install/enable this plugin "Banner Delivery Logging Plugin" ? I'm using Revive Adserver v3.2.4

No, that's not possible.
To accomplish that you have to create multiple copies of the banner. 

It may be that you ran into an issue that was found in the upgrade process in v4.1.0 and that was fixed in v4.1.1. Please try if using the most recent version fixes this for you. See https://www.revive-adserver.com/download/ and https://www.revive-adserver.com/blog/revive-adserver-v4-1-1-released-bug-fixes/

Update: I think I found the culprit: It was a zone linking issue. I had the campaigns linked to certain zones but the banners linked to different zones... It seems this mismatch caused the issue when Revive tried to obey both configurations. I will have a definitive answer after lettting it run for a couple of days, but I am pretty confident that this was the issue indeed.

Thank you dear andrewatfornax, problem has been resolved: it was not enough grants to user :-)

Hi @Geoffrey,
Great, glad you got it fixed, and very happy to hear of a Revive Adserver user using proper tools like Puppet for configuration management!

Thanks, Andrew. That is what I was thinking, and it helps to verify all is working as expected.

Hi Andrew,
thanks for the advise.
I also realized this, after my post and already joined the other discussion.
Best regards
Michael

The missing tables are:
  ox_data_summary_ad_hourly
ox_data_intermediate_ad
 
OK, I added the two tables from an earlier version, just the structure and not the data, and the install is working!

Edit: TCP mysql port works
now it is upgrading
Thanks

SOLVED! Now I'm using the "Javascript Tag" Invocation Code (instead of Asynchronous Javascript Tag) serving Responsive and Centered image.
Just put the invocation code inside a DIV and added a piece of code in the end only for the addClass purpose, THIS WAY:
<div class="mydiv">
//INVOCATION CODE (I added "async" inside script tag hoping it to work asyncly, despit not being the Async invocation code)

<!-- Revive Adserver Javascript Tag - Generated with Revive Adserver v4.1.0-rc1 -->
<script async type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[
   var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'?'https://example.com.br/adserver/www/delivery/ajs.php':'http://example.com.br/adserver/www/delivery/ajs.php');
   var m3_r = Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999);
   if (!document.MAX_used) document.MAX_used = ',';
   document.write ("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='"+m3_u);
   document.write ("?zoneid=1");
   document.write ('&amp;cb=' + m3_r);
   if (document.MAX_used != ',') document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.MAX_used);
   document.write (document.charset ? '&amp;charset='+document.charset : (document.characterSet ? '&amp;charset='+document.characterSet : ''));
   document.write ("&amp;loc=" + escape(window.location));
   if (document.referrer) document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
   if (document.context) document.write ("&context=" + escape(document.context));
   if (document.mmm_fo) document.write ("&amp;mmm_fo=1");
   document.write ("'><\/scr"+"ipt>");
   
//HERE IS THE SIMPLE CODE to add two Bootstrap classes on the image: make image Responsive and horizontally Centered.

Okay, final update with working solution:
Just hours after figuring out the lines of code to remove (which literally took all night whoops) my host got back to me saying their antimalware was responsible for the problem and they'd fixed it.
So, for other people experiencing this problem:
Step 1) Contact your host explaining the issue and they will hopefully add the exception. My host is not a small host, so I suspect a few people might suddenly have the ability to create working installs now.
Step 2) If your host is crap or there isn't an antimalware problem, extract the Campaigns.php file from the installer ZIP, remove the four lines outlined in my previous post, and hopefully that will help!

It's possible, you'd need to setup MySQL slaving.

Sorry for not being clear enough. In the example with 2 million impressions it was the total amount of impressions causing lots of empty impressions.
And yes, that's exactly what I mean and I was hoping to give one zone 100 %. I'll give it a try and see how it works automatically :)
Thanks for your help.

Some times what is obvious to you is not obvious to others. My questions may seem dim but your answers were very helpful and shone a lot of light on the subject for me. Thank you fornax!
