Great software, had no problem with 2.0, but 2.3 has got me in trouble.
Latest problem is this, ho do I overcome this when I don’t have access to the php.ini file which is contolled by my hosting company.
Openads requires database case sensitivity
Insufficient database permissions or incorrect database settings

Hi Steve -
The best place for support is http://forum.openads.org
As for your concern, its an unfortunate side effect of a MySQL option, which has been reported as a bug
For more information, please see:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=9660
https://developer.openads.org/ticket/901
So what to do? Well, if you don’t have access to your MySQL configuration settings, then you might wish to consider waiting until the next beta release before upgrading and seeing if a solution has arrived.
2.3 is still in beta, which means it is still under development and bug fixing.

One workaround to this (however i do not know the repercussions if there are any ) is to go into :
lib/OA/Upgrade/Upgrade.php
and comment out the following
if (!$result)
{
// $this->oLogger->logError(’Openads requires database case sensitivity’);
// return false;
}
approx. on line 1478

There are repercussions to this. The reason it is an issue is because if you have the option lower_case_table_names set to a value greater than 0, you will be receiving this message. Therefore, it means that all of your tables could end up having their names change, for instance from tableNameHere to tablenamehere. This can cause big issues for you down the line.
If you set lower_case_table_names = 0 and you are on windows, it could cause your MyISAM tables to have issues. Please read the MySQL documentation to fully understand this.

Your previous comment had been marked as spam because it contained code inside of it, so I had unmarked it as spam before seeing this additional comment.
Just so everyone knows why he posted twice
