"Ads not found" Validation Error

Discussion in 'Co-op Advertising Network' started by evin, Feb 7, 2005.

    Hi; I added the .htaccess code, passthru.php, ad_networks.php, and the empty ad_networks_ads.txt (chmod 777) files to my root directory, but I'm still getting the dreaded "Ads not found on http://icecoldstocks.net/." What else can I do to make this work?

    Where are the ads? I don't see them.

    Hi Shawn,

    ummm . . . OK, how do I put the ads there? I figured I missed something, and this is obviously it.

    Not sure... doesn't look like the passthru method is working entirely on your site.

    No, you shouldn't.

    Is there any fix or work-around for the "passthru.php" or is this not going to work?

    passthru.php will not work for all server setups... it's basically just a baseline to get people started if they can't use the normal supported methods.

    Shawn, you've been very helpful. Thanks. Is there a Plan B? I don't want to change the index to a PHP page though.

    You could setup your server to evaluate your html files as PHP.

    I've uploaded the passthru.php and added this to my .htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
    </IfModule>

    and

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html


    Do I need anything else?

    Thanks.

    You wouldn't need any of that... you would just need to talk to your server admin.

    I've added

    1. the passthru.php file, and

    2. this to the .htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
