- The user interface appearance (on installation, or pre-installation) being so "broken" that it is unusable;
- Instead of showing a banner on a website, Revive Adsever appears to be showing part of the website itself;
- Things just "don't work".
Troubleshooting Process
Step 1: Check Requirements
If the issue has appeared:
- when you have just installed (or are attempting to install) Revive Adserver;
- when you have just upgraded (or are attempting to upgrade) Revive Adserver;
- when you have just performed an upgrade to underlying software (e.g. PHP or the database) that Revive Adserver depends on; or
- when you have just migrated Revive Adserver to a different server
then check the requirements for the version of Revive Adserver. It may be that you need to change to a newer (or older) version of PHP or database, depending on the exact circumstances.
Step 2: Disable Adblockers
The use of Adblocker plugins in a browser often affect the ability of Revive Adserver to load content required for correct operation of the site. If the user interface appears "broken", disable your Adblocker plugin(s) and reload the page.

3: Disable ModSecurity / suPHP
The correct configuration of ModSecurity or suPHP with Revive Adserver will depend very much on your requirements. If you're finding that Revive Adserver is "broken", first try turning off ModSecurity/suPHP completely, and see if that fixes the issue. If so, you know what the issue is, and can look to update your configuration to meet your needs, while still allowing Revive Adserver to work.

4: Check ACLs
If Revive Adserver is reporting that it cannot read/write to directories, but the permissions appear to be correct, please check to ensure that there are no additional security systems in place beyond simple file permissions that are preventing access. There are a number of different security systems which could be causing the issue, however, some examples that have been noted in the past to cause issues include:
- On Linux: SELinux.
Step 5: Disable Varnish Caching
There have been numerous reports of various things "not working" in Revive Adserver when Varnish is used as a delivery cache. Try disabling Varnish, and see if that fixes the issue.
