I installed and activated the ad module and components
Created an advertisement and uploaded it to my site
Created and activated a new block for the advertisement
But advertisment is not displayed on the block.

I ran update.php and got the following:
The selected file D:\my\online\site.com\tmp\fil1C80.tmp could not be copied.

What do I need to do in order to display my ads?

Was this a fresh install of the ad module, or an upgrade? I see from your tmp path that it is a Windows system -- what web server are you using?

Please follow the directions found in documentation/DEBUG.txt ad post the output here.

Upgraded from Drupal 6.12 to 6.14 and did a re-install of ad module.
Hosting on Windows system on an IIS server

The debug report came up as follows:

ad_dir: 'd:\...\sites\all\modules\ad'
debug:'2'
adcache:'none'
nids:"
tids:"
hostid:"
url:"
quantity:'3'
aid:'0'
ad_display:'javascript'

Hope the above details is what you had asked for?

When collecting debug info, you have to convert all the &'s to just a plain & as explained in DEBUG.txt. It appears you did not do so above, and thus you have not collected any useful debug data.

Having the same problem, an image ad in a block doesn't display on Windows XP using IIS. The output block looks like this copied from Firebug:

<div id="group-id-tids-1" class="advertisement group-tids-1">
<script src="http://drupaldefault/sites/all/modules/ad/serve.php?q=5&t=1&u=admin%2Fbuild%2Fblock%2Flist" type="text/javascript">
1Failed to load source for: http://drupaldefault/sites/all/modules/ad/serve.php?q=5&t=1&u=admin%2Fbuild%2Fblock%2Flist
</script>
</div>

The "1Failed to load source for: http://drupaldefault/sites/all/modules/ad/serve.php?q=5&t=1&u=admin%2Fbuild%2Fblock%2Flist" printout originates from Firebug and is not present when viewing source in a browser. However, this may give some indication of what the problem might be.

I try to collect debug info using the URL http://drupaldefault/sites/all/modules/ad/serve.php?q=5&t=1&u=admin%2Fbu... from the view source of the browser, but this fails. Adding the "&debug=2" at the end of the URL doesn't display anything useful either.

Tried all types of display modes (Javascript, JQuery, etc), none will display the image ad.

Grateful for any ideas.

ps. I have read the thread on the issue "Ad image won't display in block when served with IIS" without finding an answer to my problem.

I'm having the same problem on a fresh install of Drupal + Advertisement (with Image Ad enabled). I'm developing on my local machine using WAMP. Set up the exact same thing 2 months ago without difficulty.

I am trying to display the image ads inside blocks. When I copy the URL found in the source to the browser, as instructed, it tells me:

document.write('\x3c!-- No active ads were found in t2 --\x3e');

Both my ads are marked as 'active' and are assigned to the correct group.

When I add "&debug=2":

It was noted in issue Ad image won't display in block when served with IIS that a similar/related problem was fixed in a development snapshot. Is there a patch in the meantime? Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please upgrade to the 6.x-2.2 version of the module and see if this solves your problem. Issues with path recognition on Windows were solved in that release.

As mentioned in my post, I installed the module 3 days ago. It is the 6.x-2.2 version.

6.x-2.2 was released today, so it would have been rather difficult to install it three days ago.

I assumed ad-6.x-2.2-rc1.tar was what you were referring to. I'll download whatever's latest and see what happens.

Sadly, no such luck. The ads still aren't showing up.

Here's the issue:

adserve_cache_id: type(tids) id(5)
adserve_cache_id: SELECT a.aid FROM {ads} a INNER JOIN {term_node} n ON a.aid = n.nid WHERE a.adstatus = 'active' AND n.tid IN(5)
adserve_cache_id: Ad '95' failed access check.

It seems you currently only have created 1 ad with a tid of 5 (the ad has a nid of 95), however you do not have permission to view this ad. Be sure to grant the appropriate permissions.

I'm a super admin.

The session id that's being served up by drupal bootstrap '8' in serve.php results in an anonymous uid '0' being pulled from the session table, whereas in the site itself the session id is correct.

Any ideas?
