Ilya Ber Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Revive Adserver is a fork of OpenX Source. OpenX Source is no longer developed. Essentially, for your purposes, they are the same. Switch over now and never look back! Quote
joe80 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 hm.... i'm having this message You don't have permission to access /revive/www/admin/install.php on this server. http://goo.gl/ZXf1yD i changed file permission to 777. i also had a same exact problem with installing openx. that's why i started to look for another ad server... any ideas why i'm having this issue?

Ilya Ber Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Have you tried looking inside your web server's error logs? Quote
joe80 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 it works with my other websites(different server). i think something is wrong with the web hosting company i'm with. i decided to switch to media temple. will ask more questions after the move. Quote
joe80 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 ok, I successfully migrated the website to a new host - Media Temple. but... I still get the same error message. http://goo.gl/I3Shba so i contacted media temple and asked if they can help me. this is what they wrote back to me It appears as though there is an application level error taking place when the admin area is loaded. The file failing to complete is on this path: /home/183829/domains/coolspaces DOT tv/html/adserver/www/admin/install.php The error I am seeing is as follows: Revive Adserver was called via the command line, but had no host as a parameter. You can take a look at the error logs on the server to get more information on this issue. The logs have yet to be enabled on this server, so I turned them on for you. They will now start recording data about this issue. ok, so what am i doing wrong? i have no idea how to fix this... please help!! thx in advance! Quote

mlowens Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Revive Adserver was called via the command line, but had no host as a parameter. I just ran into this issue after upgrading from an earlier version of Revive. You have to pass a hostname as an additional parameter when you're calling the script from the command line. If you have this set up as a cron job, you need to change it there. So, change this: php /path/to/revive/maintenance/maintenance.php To this: php /path/to/revive/maintenance/maintenance.php localhost There was apparently a bug in earlier versions that allowed you to call the script without the hostname parameter, which I didn't realize when I originally set up the cron. It was tricky to track down because there were no errors in debug.log. Quote
