The guide should work for you but OpenX is a sophisticated tool and it's easy enough to miss something. We're working to improve this.Please use the forum if you'd like help getting started. A 20 minute delay shouldn't happen in your situation. Unfortunately, it's a common <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotcha_(programming)" rel="nofollow">gotcha</a> in other situations so when you are troubleshooting it's worth checking. I realise this would be quite frustrating. If you had no banner right away and still no banner after waiting, most likely there was some other issue happening.

You follow the get started tutorial and it doesn't work... When you finally hack around to get something to happen, the invocation tag does f^&k all. You read the FAQ and it says you have to wait for 20 mins.... Why do we need to wait 20 mins to see 10 lines of JS.... Well I waited an hour and still nothing... Get Google AdManager if you can... this is really horrible..
