I see a dashboard error when I login, how can I fix it?

There are the most common causes of a dashboard error message.

Note: In most cases a dashboard error will not affect your ad servers ability to deliver advertising.

1. Your installation does not currently support GD

OpenX 2.6 requires the PHP GD extension to generate graphs on the Home page. If the extension is not enabled you will not be able to view graphs of statistics on your Home page.

You will may need to install or enable the GD extension, see here for more details.

2. The server can't connect to the central server

Error: XML-RPC connection error (code: 800)

The dashboard pulls information from a central server for some widgets. There are several things which can affect this.

Your server may not have the the Curl extension enabled. You may need to install or enable the Curl extension, see here for more details.

You should also check that your firewall isn't blocking outbound connections.

3. Your installation does not currently support SSL.

You don't have 'openssl.so' or 'php_openssl.dll' extensions enabied in you php.ini file.

You may need to enable or install the OpenSSL extension. See here for more information.

If you get any other Dashboard error than listed above please describe your problem in details and post it on the OpenX forum.
