Uninstalled Openx Market Plugin. Can I Safely Delete Oxmarket Folder?

[ant]

Hello there,

I recently upgraded my very old OpenX installation - it started as phpAdsNew! - to the new Revive Adserver. The plugin OpenX Market was removed in the admin area, by me or by the upgrading process, don't remember... Now I just saw that a folder oxMarket still exists under /www/admin/plugins/ and I was wondering if I can completely delete it without causing issues.

 

Thank you in advance.

hmm, if you followed the upgrade instruction properly, you shouldn't have such a folder.

I upgraded from OpenX through Installatron under cPanel, everything went fine and then the upgrade proceeded through the admin area... I don't remember any error message but I had no issue since then.

 

Today I just upgraded again from version 3.0.3 to 3.0.4... Just got some errors and I checked the install.log file:

#! openXMarket(): Component group with this name is already installed oxMarket
#! openXMarket(): The uploaded file did not pass security check
#! openXMarket(): The uploaded file openXMarket.zip was not unpacked

I checked if the OpenX Market plugin was still installed and it is not.. But I found the dir /www/admin/plugins/oxMarket/ via FTP.

 

That's the reason why I'm asking

 

Thank you

Pretty sure something went wrong when you first moved to Revive Adserver. Would you care to explain what you mean by "upgraded from OpenX through Installatron under cPanel"

My Revive is hosted on a webserver with cPanel, in cPanel there's a tool called Installatron and it makes application upgrades semi-automatic.

 

I just saw the most recent log files (those file named as "openads_version_stamp_[VERSION]_[DATE-TIME].log") and it seems there were no errors since version 2.8.7.

The install.log file (since OpenX 2.8.7) reports only the errors I stated above...

 

Please note I'm asking about the oxMarket directory under [webroot]/www/admin/plugins/ path, not under [webroot]/plugins/ ... Do you think I can safely delete it?

Thank you

I've never heard of Installatron before. We definitely can't support 3rd party tools "interfering" with proper install/upgrade procedures.

 

As for the status of your instance, I honestly can't tell it it's ok or not to delete that folder. Given it's hte admin interface side of it, it should be fine...

 

I wonder though what else could be broken in your setup

Ok, I just renamed that folder and it seems it didn't harm anything.

 

By the way, Installatron is simply a cPanel app that automates the upgrading process: it backs up files and database of a software like Revive Adserver or like any known CMS and then extracts and writes the new files, nothing more than this
