How can I get my first ads to display? Using OpenX

Hi...

So with the old "hosted" version of OpenX, the URL was:

So my guess is that you go:

However, is "enterprise" OpenX V3?

If it is, then I believe that the URLs have also changed. My tests were using:

I think you'll need to check with them if you are running V3 - they may have set new URLs for the production version.

Also, if you are running V3 then you'll need to make sure that you are:

1. Running OVA RC5 (the latest dev build)

2. Set your OpenX ad server type in the OVA config to "OpenX3" or just use direct ad tags

So - think the first question is - what version of "enterprise" are you running and then go from there ...

Yes, it is OpenX 3.0. The "API" the I am supposed to use is JUST 'ox-d.<website>' However, the ads are still not displaying for some reason. The Enterprise support staff said Enterprise supports VAST 2.0 compliant XML. However I have tried test examples and still cannot get ads to display, even in JWPlayer

Ok.. so this is going to take some careful work. As far as I know, you are probably the first using OVA with V3 (although that may be wrong).

Let's start at the beginning.

I need to see your full config to help. Can you give me a URL to a test page or send through your config?

If you don't want to post it to the forum, email it through to enquiries@openvideoads.org

OVA does with with V3 - it has been tested a lot by OpenX, so it will work.

It's just a case of getting the setup right.

Sorry, I forgot about this post. But I got it working! I Used direct tags and for Enterprise you need to set your api address to: http://ox-ui.yourdomain.com/v/1.0/av?pgid=AdGroupIdNumber

...and everything should work fine after that once you customize all your settings in the enterprise console

Cool - thanks for the update - that's really useful to know :)
