ad_network.php file needs updating

My ads keep displaying "ad_network.php file needs updating". I updated and deleted ad_network_ads.txt both yesterday and today.

I have gone over every solution posted here and none of them apply. I also did a quick grep and can't find the string in question anywhere in my ad_network* files.

So, DP... mind double checking things on your end?

In the mean time, here is a quick fix for anyone having the same problem -- Replace your on page code with this:

<?
include('ad_network.php');
if(!strstr($ad_network[0],"needs up")) {
   echo $ad_network[0]."\n";
}
?>

Code (markup):

 

The code is exactly as it appears on the site:

$ diff ad_network.php ad_network.php-just-taken-from-dp-dot-com
$ md5sum ad_network.php
0a65fd11b81a7ddfd8e66d0132c919a9  ad_network.php
$ md5sum ad_network.php-just-taken-from-dp-dot-com
0a65fd11b81a7ddfd8e66d0132c919a9  ad_network.php-just-taken-from-dp-dot-com
$ grep array_merge ad_network.php
                                if (count ($ads) > $ads_temp[3] + 1) $ads = array_merge ($ads[0], array_slice ($ads, -$ads_temp[3]));
$

Any other ideas?

Thats very wierd, i'm pretty sure I was still sawing logs at 11.

However, I am still getting them.

Here is the contents of my ad_network_ads.txt:

1105325xxx|216.9.35.xx|us82jxxx|4xx|9xx|4<ad_break><a href="http://spyware.pcwash.com" />Spyware Remover</a><ad_break><a href="http://www.fantasyfootballjungle.com/" />Fantasy Football</a><ad_break><a href="http://www.zipwise.com/" />Zip Codes</a>

Well I'm getting the same problem.
I updated the files today, flushed teh ad_network_ads.txt, yet its not requesting any ads. The ad_network_ads.txt is staying at 0 bytes, so i'm guessing its not requesting.
Yet on other websites I run i've done the same and the ads appear to be working fine.
Any hints.suggestions on what can be wrong here?

 

Nothing related in ad_network.php or ad_network_ads.txt.

 

I checked and it's the only copy on the entire server.

After a day or so the ad in question showed up in my ad_network_ads.txt.

 

I ask because I got an email from Digital Point telling me my ads weren't showing on one of my sites and I checked and I have the same error symetrix got yet I haven't even touched the site so I don't know why anything would change on it. I also copied over the top of the ad_network.php file with another copy of it, but know change.

This shows in my source code on one of my pages:

"<a href="http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/" />ad_network.php file needs updating</a>"

Maybe the failure is temporary; I'll check my site again later, but in the mean time if anyone knows what causes this to happen and better yet what I need to do to get it working again I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks,

Shawn,

Ok I tried flushing the contents of that txt file and it just filled the new empty text file with the same error messages as before. I also tried completly deleting that file and uploaded a new one then CHMOD the file to 777 and again the same result.

Could I try taking that txt file from another one of my sites that is working and place that on the failing site and see if that works or will that mess things up as each site might have it's own unique ID or something?

Thanks,

Stephen

 

Yes after uploading a blank file it then was filled with the same error message. Actually I think I'm about ready to just give up on this. I only had three sites using this program and now this morning the other two are producing the same errors and I hadn't touched any of them. Well I did try fixing one of them this morning and failed after uploading what I found on the digital netwok forum claiming to be a newer version of the php file and now I get no ads and no errors just blank space.

I'm just out of ideas on what I can do at this point.

I would think it would be working on all of them as I hadn't touched y of these domains when the ads suddenly stopped working. The one this morning that I tried a new ad_network.php file on was this site:

http://www.cruise-ship-life.com/

The others I just cleared out the txt file and uploaded it again and made sure it was CHMOD 777.

Thanks,

Stephen
