Although we were easily able to connect to the servers with FileZilla – UltraEdit did not like it when we used the internal network to FTP in.  We did use the external DSL connection and itwas fine.

After speaking to network-boy Tim, he suggested looking at the “active/passive” setting.  I did – and after a quick tweak…we were back online.

STEP 1:

You need to go into the FTP account manager:

STEP 2:

Go to the account you need to access and click the server tab.  Near the bottom – you will need to check the box for “Passive Transfers” – after clicking, save the settings and try again.  All should be right with the world. 

Step 1:

Login the admin section of the site in question.  Then, click the settings menu and go to the settings for the “OAS Admin”.

Add positions to the string. Make sure there is no extra whitespace - that will cause an error.

Step 2:

Go to the widgets page and move the OAS widget from the left to the sidebar on the right.  Add your banner designation in the sidebar spot you selected.

Insert widget and add position text.

Step 3:

Once this is complete – we need to look at the source code of the site to see if the banner code is rendering properly.  Go to the main URI of the site – then in your browser, use the view source command.  (It can usually be found by right clicking on the site – and clicking view source.)

Do a search for the new ad placement text you added.  It should appear in 2 places.  Near the top and the area where the banner will display.

Check the site name and banner position at the top.

Now look for the banner diaply call.

Final:

If those things are in check, then there is more than likely a problem within the OAS itself.

UPDATE: If you are seeing a small 1×1 pixel image,  that means OAS is working – itis sending the image.  But there is an issue with the set-up.

Please give us a call if you have questions.
