Symptoms

When working as a system administrator user in Revive Adserver, the Configuration > Product Updates page's "Check for updates" action consistently returns an error that communication with the server timed out.  

Troubleshooting Process

Step 1: Check for old "OpenX" sync server

Prior to becoming Revive Adserver, the product was known as OpenX Source. With the release of Revive Adserver 3.0, previously existing installations of OpenX Source should have had their configuration files updated via the upgrade process to move to a new "sync" server, where details of product updates are stored.

However, it is possible that some configuration files may not have been correctly updated, e.g. due to file permissions, restored configuration files, incorrect or incomplete upgrades, etc.

To check, look for configuration files in the Revive Adserver's var/ directory with a .conf.php file extension, and check the [oacSync] section of the files. They should be set to:

No Format
[oacSync]
protocol=https
host="sync.revive-adserver.com"
path="/xmlrpc.php"
httpPort=80
httpsPort=443

If not, update your configuration file to have the details above.
