Revive Adserver is a free open-source ad-serving tool that allows webmasters, advertisers, and publishers to serve ads on their websites, manage campaigns and track impressions, clicks, and conversions. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to install Revive Adserver on OpenSUSE latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you have to download the Revive Adserver package from the official website. Open your terminal and type the following command to download the latest version of Revive Adserver:
$ wget https://download.revive-adserver.com/revive-adserver-5.2.1.tar.gz
After downloading the Revive Adserver package, the next step is to extract the files in the web root directory. In this example, we will extract the files in the default web root directory /var/www/htdocs. Type the following command in your terminal to extract the files:
$ tar -zxvf revive-adserver-5.2.1.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/
Now, you need to set appropriate permissions for the Revive Adserver files and directories. Type the following commands in your terminal:
$ cd /var/www/htdocs/revive-adserver-5.2.1/
$ chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/htdocs/revive-adserver-5.2.1/
Create a new database and user for the Revive Adserver. Log in to your MySQL server using the following command:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
Once you are logged in, create a database and user as shown below:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE dbname;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON dbname.* to 'dbuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dbpassword';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Replace dbname, dbuser, and dbpassword with your preferred names.
Navigate to the installation wizard by accessing the address "http://your-server-ip/revive-adserver-5.2.1/" in your web browser. Fill in the required information including the database details and click on the "Submit" button. Revive Adserver will now install on your server.
Once the installation is complete, you will be redirected to the Revive Adserver login page. Access it using your login credentials, and you are ready to set up your ad campaigns.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Revive Adserver on OpenSUSE latest. Revive Adserver is now enabled on your server, and you can start serving ads on your website.
