I understand it would be nice, but unfortunately the core design of the product that was made decades ago doesn't allow it.

For best performance Operation Interval should be left at 1 hour and maintenance should be scheduled to run hourly. Doing it more often is unnecessary. TL;DR You can't have statistics updated more often than 1 hour anyway

I guess it depends on whether or not you have request logging enabled. This also seems a good opportunity to do a shameless plug for our Redis logging plugin: https://www.adserverplugins.com/redis-logging-plugin-for-revive-adserver/ - you'd be collecting stats on the edge on Redis and ship them to the master before maintenance.

Hey Tim, I guess you could play a bit with deliveryUrl settings and achieve what you need Let's say your main delivery domain is delivery.example.com and the regional replica answer to delivery-edge.example.com Now, you could set up delivery-edge.example.com as deliveryUrl on the master and delivery.example.com as deliveryUrl on the replica machines. The tags you generate from the UI will use delivery-edge.example.com and the ads served from regional replicas will have lg.php pointing to the main delivery.example.com.

@Dion Halcyon Sorry, document.write() is extremely bad and destructive and should be avoided.

Sorry, softaculus or any other 3rd party installers is not something we can help with. You might want to ask them for support. All I can suggest is to try and clear the var/cache directory contents and make sure that permissions are correct.

Sorry, what you suggest requires Revive Adserver to track on permanent storage hashes and the banner that has been displayed, which is kind of a "server side" cookie storage. Being it email, it would also give no possibility for the end user to accept or not. I don't think this can be on the roadmap, especially given the current privacy concerns and laws.

So sorry... the keyword system and direct selection are pretty much deprecated. So are local tags. It seems you're out of luck here :(

How would you expect Revive to know which banner was clicked?

Revive 5.3 will be compatibile with PHP 8.0. We expect to release a release candidate in a few weeks.

Sorry @wppmediagroup, advertiser users never have had the permissions to create campaigns. I also don't see any buttons or links to create new campaigns when logged in as an advertiser used, so could you please elaborate?

During the installation, you should have seen something like: Installing Revive Adserver Plugin: Banner Types PluginOK while the installer was installing all the bundled plugins, e.g.

The installation is not over at that point

Then there is something very wrong with your setup or hosting, or apache security modules. One of the last steps of the installer does also install the plugins.

Perhaps the standard plugins are disabled or not installed.
