Issues with your self hosted Prosper202 install this week? There is a fix! (2)

Hi Everyone,

We just want to put out a notice to those of you that may be using the self-hosted version of Prosper202 and are currently having issues using your Prosper202 install this week.

The issue you are seeing stems from the fact that tracking202.com is currently down. Unfortunately, because of the way the self hosted version loads ads from the tracking202.com site, there end up being some major problems when you try to use it while tracking202.com is down. Fortunately there is a really easy fix for the problem!


The Fix
1. Connect via FTP or open the cPanel file manager
2. Browse to the 202-config directory and open template.php for editing
3. Search for: top-left
4. Remove the following lines:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
                    var is_ssl = ("https:" == document.location.protocol);
                    var asset_url = is_ssl ? "https://ads.tracking202.com/prosper202-topleft/" : "<?php echo TRACKING202_ADS_URL; ?>/prosper202-topleft/";
                    document.write(unescape("%3Ciframe%20class%3D%22advertise-top-left%22%20src%3D%22"+asset_url+"%22%20scrolling%3D%22no%22%20frameborder%3D%220%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E"));
                </script>

• As always, be careful when making modifications like this. Get someone to help you if you are not comfortable with doing it!
• You will still have issues with loading the 202-account page (the one that loads immediately after login)
• If you get stuck immediately after logging in, try going directly to your overview page. Paste a URL like this in your address bar: http://MYDOMAINHERE.com/tracking202/overview/
• If you are still having issues, try using a different browse. Firefox in particular seems to get choked up on this for some reason.

Sorry about that. The server issue has been fixed, I was traveling so it took much longer to resolve than it should have.
