danicasati Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi. I can't install GEO plugins shipped with latest version of Adserver (4.0). I've tried uploading ZIP files, to put manually into /PLUGINS/ folder. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Geurts Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 The geotargeting plugin that ships with Revive Adserver by default will be installed automatically during install. You do not have to do anything manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danicasati Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Thank you for quick response, but in my installation I can't get any plugins installed. I've uploaded them manualyy, but GEO plugins are not in my server. Any idea to install it manually? If I try to install manually, uploading a ZIP file, I get this error: Failed to find package definition file /home/vivire6/public_html/xchange2/plugins/etc//home/vivire6/public_html/xchange2/var/tmp/plugins/etc/MaxMindGeoIP.xml.xml Failed to parse the plugin definition MaxMindGeoIP.xml The uploaded file did not pass security check The uploaded file MaxMindGeoIP.zip was not unpacked Edited January 9, 2017 by danicasati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 @danicasati Did you install the plugin like this ? https://www.adserverplugins.com/revive-adserver/how-to-install-a-plugin-in-revive-adserver/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danicasati Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes, I did it using /PLUGINS_REPO/ directory in Revive Adserver package. I get this error, not only with all plugins, but always with Geo plugins. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danicasati Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 So, no way to install Geo plugins if fresh installation has failed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I have no idea what you did, but it should work fine via the UI's upload function. If it failed you can also remove it there, and try reinstalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danicasati Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I did a fresh installation on new server, but same problem: /PLUGINS/ directory is empty, so I need ti upload plugins manually. Geo plugins installation fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danicasati Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Any help? Why you can't provide a direct link to plugins SEPARATELY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi @danicasati, I think this may be a double post, and I've just answered this in another post - but for completeness of the thread, I think the reason the plugin will not install is that you are generating the plugin ZIP file manually yourself, from a checkout of the Revive Adserver source code. The source code in GitHub is arranged differently from how we package it for release (for various reasons), and the plugin manifest files do not include the unit test files (because we strip those out when we package a release). So, that's why our GitHub page says not to try to download and use the product from GitHub :-) Instead of trying to install a plugin that you have generated yourself, use the plugin ZIP file that came with the release of Revive Adserver that you are using. You can find all of these in the Revive Adserver etc/plugins directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
