Ad Management script/program?

[Artashes]

OK, if anyone has any experience with the Advertising Management systems, what program/script would you recommend to use on a web site? Its best if its free, however, I don't mind paying up to $100 for it.

I tried installing phpAdsNew, but I had troubles installing it. I suspect that the MySQL version is outdated a bit on my server, so it didn't support the script.

I also was thinking about products such as OASIS (http://oasis.sourceforge.net/), MyAdSystem.com and Ace-Installer.com... But I'm really at a loss which one to choose. As I'm a street-talk type of buyer, I really wanted to base my decision on other people's experience about this kind of product.

So, if you know something that might be of help - please feel free to speak out. Always appreciated. :)

Best,

Hey Artashes. I use phpAdsNew on my portal It seems to work great. Why pay $100 for something you can get for free. If you would like I can try installing it for you or just update mysql :).

Kunta, I have just found out what MySQL version my host is running:

"It is currently at 3.23.54a version, but we are working to upgrade it with InnoDB addition." - I have no idea what that is. :)

I think phpNewAds requires at least MySQL 4, so no matter how hard we try to install it - it won't work. Last time I tried - I had troubles getting past through "localhost, username and database name" setup installation step. It just didn't know where to go look for information probably...

I tried setting up a username and pass in CPanel first, too - that didn't work as well.

But you know, my first priority was stability in the product. What if something goes wrong with the script, an error, a bug that I won't be able to fix? I surely won't be able to fix it, nor developers provide any support and then my advertisers would be angry. But if I pay for a product - there is at least some type of support available...? Does that make sense or would I really be better off with a free product?

Thanks a lot buddy for the offer, so you think this program is worth it? (Because I heard it supports all type of ads).

I just might ask for help actually.

PS: By the way, that Ace-Installer.com script works actually like a CPC engine - advertisers make a credit directly into your paypal account, you determine the pay-per-click-rate and off you go! Pretty neat I think. Can phpAdsNew calculate CPM, CPC campaigns? (I just never really go it fully installed, so I don't really know how good it is from calculating ad campaign's $$$ totals point of view.)

Best,
