Michael Oeser Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I tried to upgrade an OpenX Source 2.8 install to Revive Adserver 4.0 and I followed the steps here: https://www.revive-adserver.com/support/upgrading/ But when I run the upgrade wizard it starts a fresh install. I assume I missed something significant but have no clue what. The images are stored in a directory outside OpenX / Revive Adserver Any help would be appreciated.

Erik Geurts Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It probably means that you're running the upgrade on a different domain/address than the existing installation. That means it can not recognize the config file because it's trying to match that to the domain/address. The other reason can be that the upgrade wizard (i.e. Apache) can't see the config file(s) you copied because of ownership issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Oeser Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks Erik. Well in fact my OpenX Source install is on the subdomain openx.automotiveit.eu (which points to automotiveit.eu/openx) and the Revive Adserver is at adserver.automotive-it.eu (which points to automotiveit.eu/_adserver How can I make the upgrade in this scenario? Hope there is a simple way. But I could also switch the Revive Adserver directory or domain if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yes, but you will have to rename the config file name to match the (sub)domain of the new address, and you will also have to modify the content of the modified config file to match the changed folder locations and URLs.

Michael Oeser Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Great. I will take a look at it and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Oeser Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ok I started again from scratch and now I get these error on running the upgrade wizzard: Errors were found when detecting previous installations of Revive Adserver MDB2 Error: not found application - Openads configuration file detected - Could not connect to the database : d0241b49 I have double checked the DB login data in the configuration file and they are correct. I don´t understand really the other errors. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm sorry, but at this point, there is little to nothing we can do to assist you remotely, on the basis of the available information. It might be good to consider hiring a specialist to get you started again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Oeser Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 OK. I fully understand that. This is a clients project. Can they hire you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I don't have time right now, but I've tipped a friend who might (and who has the expertise). I can't guarantee he'll be in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Oeser Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi Erik, would be great because the client´s hoster deactivates PHP 5.3 on December 12th which is currently required to run OpenX Source v2.8 If you have an idea how to run OpenX Source v2.8 on a newer PHP version I´d be glad to get your advice. That would take the timing stress out of the situation. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
