Tip #17: Moving OpenX

http://www.openxtips.com/2009/06/tip-17-moving-openx/

by backups if it will work,..

Nope, much more complex than that. We were using openads, which is no longer supported at all. Plus a script to import all the GL ads from a spreadsheet, format the images with details, and insert them into the openads database. Openx is installed and running correctly on the new server. But the script doesn't work, and this isn't a script made by openx. Sooo, I'm having to see if any openx developers can help. (I've tried changing the script references from openads to openx, but it's bombing on trying to open the spreadsheet [either the spreadsheet itself or the viewer that I found a dependency of])

Also FWIW, I ported over the openads database and files just as mentioned. That died as well. So we made the call to just install openx fresh and get just the GL ad import/creation working. All the other banners/ads I can easily do from javascripting and hosting under the apache server. (I'm wanting to move to this to offload some of the server load from running openx against a database to letting the end users computer randomly pick a image...)

No, that's just what I've always felt like with the GL ad/openads portion of the site.

Everything seems to work ok, so you completed the server upgrade++?

No, we're still on the old hardware. However, I have the import script working on the new server. (And I've also got Chris' business website running on it already) I was waiting on a new update from GL to fully test the import script. Now that we're past that, I'm ready to move us over. But with us being so close to the GA Rally (I'm going), I am holding off on moving it until that's over.

While you're doing this major update would you consider fine tuning the systemic nofer trunions so the site can receive telephatic transmissions?
I'm sorta tired of punching keys that produce words that do not say what I actually mean.
