Known Issues
------------
This list covers some of the known problems with OpenX ${RELEASE_VERSION}. Please
read this before reporting any new bugs.
* The upgrade process may time out with very large databases. See the FAQ
[http://www.openx.org/help/${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR}/faq/large-db] for more information if you
have a large database.
* OpenX ${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR} requires PHP 5. If you are using PHP 4, you will need to
update your web server to use PHP 5 before upgrading.
* If you want to run OpenX with MySQL, please note that OpenX ${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR} requires
MySQL 4.1 or higher. If you are using an older version of MySQL, you will
need to update you database software before upgrading.
* If you want to run OpenX with PostgreSQL, please note that OpenX ${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR}
requires PostgreSQL 8.1 or higher. If you are using an older version of
PostgreSQL, you will need to update your database software before
upgrading.
* Some of the PEAR libraries used are not compatible with database prefix
names with double "_" characters (e.g. "ox__"). You should NOT install
OpenX with a prefix of this format.
* Some users have reported issues of being logged out when viewing
statistics. This can be worked around by ensuring that the timezone is
correctly set in PHP
[http://www.openx.org/help/${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR}/timezone-settings].
* Viewing, editing and updating Payment Details and Payment History when using
OpenX Market Plugin currently doesn't work on the Safari browsers with
default cookie settings. Please see more details here:
https://developer.openx.org/jira/browse/OXPL-126
* See [https://developer.openx.org/jira/] for the latest bug reports.
FAQ
---
1. What can I do to help?
We need help from both developers and users to provide as much feedback
as possible to make OpenX even better. Please read these notes on how to
report a bug [http://www.openx.org/help/${RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR}/reporting-bugs] before
reporting any bugs. You can also give us your feedback through the
OpenX forum [http://forum.openx.org/].
