    Now that OpenX has gone php5, I need a new solution.

    I’ve never been too impressed with OpenX to begin with, and their update broke my site (I suppose it serves me right for not checking the Known Issues portion of the update) I’m now looking around for something new.

    Any ideas?

    Any ideas?

    Beyond OpenX and Google AdManager (horridly complex mess inherited from Double-Click), the field thins out quickly.

    I moved a site running millions of ads off a local server to OpenX Hosting. It was a wonderful experiment for a month, then OpenX migrated to new servers and the resulting month has been disastrous. But, you get what you pay for, I guess.

    Google got me these:

    AdPeeps

    SpinBox

    AdServerServices

    List of AdServer scripts

    Others...

    It might be easier to move to a host that runs PHP 5.x. You may need to go there eventually.

    I second the move to PHP 5, for what it’s worth. I am personally hesitant to rely on software after its official (extended) end of life cycle date has passed. That said, I know many people are still on PHP 4, for whatever reason, and probably will be for some time to come.
