God Banner Rotator...
Anyone know of a good banner rotator? My sites are using AdCyycle at the moment...but blooming hell does is slow the server down! I get about 70k hits between my sites a day, and now the server is soooo slow I can't even get in to rename the file and work out another solution!

Anyone know of any free/shareware ones? Oh, and I've searched hostscripts and cgi resources, but none of them look very good. If worst comes to worst I suppose I may have to write one Frown

Thanks

Are you running Mod_Perl?

adcycle... ack! One look at the code is all you need to see why it's so slow... but don't you have an old Ford Model T server to begin with? Smile

I've begun working on a not-so-bloated banner program a few weeks ago. If you'd like to hack around with some of the codes I'd be glad to let you see it... pm me in private.

No mod_perl isn't installed.

Adcycle is probably the root cause of the problem but having quite a slow server isn't going to give you a head start.

I am wondering no one suggested phpAdsNew, a great script:

Thanks everyone for your replies. I've written a very basic script to do what I need at the moment, but I gotta get acess to the server to change over the places using it Tongue I may also be using Junkos script when he gets back to me (thanks junko, btw Smile).

Thanks

On thing that would speed up the process is having a php banner rotator and not a perl one.

Good Luck,

Yup, just wrote my own PHP banner roator. Only gonna use it til Junko gets back to me with his script though, as mine is very basic Tongue
