When I try to administer it I get the following error. The first lines represent the new and correct path of the current (new) host. The last line is the path used in the old host. I can't find a config file to change that, I assumed all paths were based on the MAX_PATH variable. /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var => OK /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var/cache => OK /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var/plugins => OK /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var/plugins/cache => OK /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var/plugins/config => OK /home3/organij9/public_html/torchlightdirectory/openx/var/templates_compiled => OK /home/torchlig/public_html/openx/www/images => NOT writeable ^^^^^^^^^^^^ this path is the old host directory structure I moved the install as described and it is serving banners as expected.

Of course, if you are changing directory structure at the same time, then yes, this setting may need to be changed, depending on your OpenX configuration... Hi Mikey,

You don’t need to change the webDir setting if you are moving a server — so long as you keep the same directory structure on the new server! Of course, if you are changing directory structure at the same time, then yes, this setting may need to be changed, depending on your OpenX configuration…
