Even after running chmod -R a+w on adserver/var, still getting this problem.
Looks like it is a problem with PHP
File permission errors have been detected, and must be fixed before you can continue.
To fix the errors on a Linux system, try typing in the following command(s):
chmod -R a+w /home/a2z/public_html/adserver/var

Howdy -- thanks for contacting us!
What PHP Execution Mode is it that you're using there?
You can see that in Server Configuration -> Website Options.
FCGId

That's odd, because Virtualmin explicitly makes that var directory writable as part of the install. Also, if it's owned by the domain owner and PHP scripts run in FPM mode, they should also have permissions to write to it.

Could you try creating a file named "test.php" in the public_html folder, and for it's contents, add the following:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>Then, can you share the resulting URL with us so we can see the phpinfo output? Thanks!

Yup, that looks good -- it's set to use FCGID in Virtualmin, and I can see in that output that FCGID is working.
The next step would be to look at the folder in question -- what output do you see when running these commands:
ls -la /home/a2z/public_html/adserver/varls -la /home/a2z/public_html/adserver

That's a bit of a puzzler... it definitely appears that everything is readable and writable. And your PHP scripts are running in the correct mode.
I did some Googling and found similar questions in the revive-adserver Forums.
They unfortunately didn't all get resolutions to their issues, but some possible things did stick out.
One possibility was SELinux... is that running on your server there? As that could potentially cause some problems.
You can determine that with this command:
sestatus[a2z@edge adserver]$ sestatusSELinux status: disabled
[a2z@edge adserver]$

Okay, we can rule that out!
The only other idea I got from their Forums was that some said that one of the paths in the config pointed to a location that it couldn't write to. In their case it was the images path.
I unfortunately don't know what the name of the config file is, but do you see something that looks like a config file in the adserver installation? If so, do you see any paths, particularly the image path, that may point to a location that's not writable?
Feel free to post that config file here and we can take a look as well.
Is it this one?

Hmm, that looks more like a file containing PHP code than a config file.
I see in "/home/a2z/public_html/adserver/var", that there's something named "a2z.blue.conf.php", are you able to edit that? I suspect that would be the config file.
Unable to edit that file using nano.
