2. Copy configuration file, banner images and set folder permissions
The OpenX configuration file can be found in the ‘var’ folder just below the ‘openx’ folder. The name of the starts with your domain name and ends in ‘conf.php’. Download it to your local computer using your FTP program and then upload it into the ‘var’ folder just below the ‘openx_new’ folder.
When you’ve setup your OpenX to allow for storage of banner image on the local webserver, the image files can usually be found in the ‘www/images’ folder just below your ‘openx’ folder. Download these to your local computer in a new directory, and then upload them in to the ‘www/images’ folder just below the ‘openx_new’ folder.
Finally, you will have to change permissions on a few folders and files. Many FTP programs can do that in just a few clicks. I use SmartFTP (still using version 2.5 after discovering a few annoying bugs in version 3). If your server is running on Linux or Unix, the permissions of the ‘var’ folder in ‘openx_new’ and all files and folders in it have to be set to ‘777′. The permissions of the ‘www/images’ folder in the ‘openx_new’ also have to be set to ‘777′.
