Banner Management With phpAdsNew (Part One) - Conclusion (Page 8 of 8 )
This brings us to the conclusion of the first part of my tutorial on the phpAdsNew banner management software. During the course of the article, I showed you how to install the package on your server - from creating the database, ensuring that the file permissions are appropriately set, through a quick walk-through of the browser installation wizard.
Next, I gave you a quick overview of the different entities associated with the software and how they interact with each other - this is essential in order to get maximum benefit from the package. Finally, the quick-start guide demonstrated how to create "publishers" and "advertisers" and display "banners" on your website using phpAdsNew.
In the second part of this series, I show you how to install the phpAdsNew so that you can run it off a URL of its own (such as http://ads.mysite.com). This comes in handy if you have several websites that would like to use same instance of phpAdsNew. I'll also explain the nitty-gritty that I had to skip in the current article in order to get phpAdsNew up and running quickly.
Till next time, have fun.
