Best to change the above script to do all plugins folders.

client login.
Create advertiser , > advertiser properties > user access.
Create a username and password for them.

Create publisher > publisher properties > user access.
Create a username and password for them.

They can now log into their respective accounts.

Hi guys,

Just to say thanks for all the help! 444 in CPanel fixed the locking of the config file.

As for the plugins, i browsed all of the files for each of the default plugins which come with openx (videoads, etc.) and every file in the directories had a 777 permission so simply mass changed every files chmod value in each plugins folder to 755 and they now dont throw 500 internal errors.

My apologies if im rambling, over-tired. Anway thanks again!

Have 1 more question actually, I dont like exposing to the world im running openx but i will obviously have clients who need to log in to the installation, do any of you have any advice on how best to handle this? i normally just htaccess/password an admin directory and it feels a bit un-nerving just leaving openx’s admin directory available for the world to see.

Cheers!

That error means you got a stray backslash where PHP doesn’t expect it. Make sure you copied the script as shown. Make sure all comments “//” are double as above and not single “/” as the error indicates.

444 in cpanel file manager works for me, however it seems on some servers when set to 444 the plugins page will load with a few blank lines, and corrupted looking.

@Steve…

You have to change the chmod to 444 in the cpanel file manager. I dont know why the FTP wont work but it did the same thing for me. Give it a shot and post back.

Perhaps something went wrong with

$plugins = oxMarketChmod(MAX_PATH.'/plugins/etc/oxMarket');
$admin = oxMarketChmod(MAX_PATH.'/www/admin/plugins/oxMarket');

when poking aroung one soon realizes all the plugin folders and files have incorrect permissions, so perhaps one would want to do

$plugins = oxMarketChmod(MAX_PATH.'/plugins/etc');
$admin = oxMarketChmod(MAX_PATH.'/www/admin/plugins');

This fix worked great! one other thing though – when i log in, openx says my configuration file is not locked even though its chmod 644. do you have any suggestions on how to make this error message go away and successfuly lock this file? spoke to my hosting company and they said try chmod 000. grr, openx can be incredilby frustrating! great post though and thanks, really helped much.

One other thing i would point out is whist your fix works, you will still get 500 errors regarding the plugins. seems this script fixes everything apart from the plugins directory. just a note really.
