newaduser Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have to change hosts. How do I change the configuration settings for the revive adserver? I will have a new domain name and database. I am assuming that I there is a file somewhere that store the database connection information. Can I simply move the files to the new server, restore the database and change the config file to point to the new database? Or is there more to it than that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoork Hosting Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 That is all that you have to do Transfer files to the new server, restore the database, and modify the configuration file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewatfornax Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 The Revive Adserver configuration file will be in your installation's "var" directory. It will have a name based on the domain name the site is running on (or installed with) with a .conf.php extension on the end. So, for example, it may be called "www.example.com.conf.php".

sleah Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry to hyjack... but I'd like to do something similar. I have ftp access to the existing openx install but that is all beyond logging in as a manager. The install has somehow become corrupt and I can only log in to it as a manager, so I can't access details such as database name, username or password. Is it still possible to copy the database from the old system to the new? My new revive install is on a different server and is working properly with test data. I do have administrator access to the new install Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliza0406 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi sleah, Just try the following, it might help you. Move OpenX files and database to different server. Upgrade the OpenX to Revive version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrade the OpenX to Revive version. Thanks, it had crossed my mind that it might work? I guess doing the upgrade may recreate the default admin user?

Eliza0406 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi, Yeah it might recreate a default admin user. Check and say whether it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I guess doing the upgrade may recreate the default admin user? No. An upgrade won't re-create any default users. If you have changed users (removed them, added them, etc.) they will be preserved by the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
