New to MOZ, can't create a campaign.
-
I just started the free trial today, but I can't setup a campaign. Everywhere I go (http://analytics.moz.com/pro/home, http://analytics.moz.com/manage-campaigns), all I see is:
Oops! Try refreshing the page, if that doesn't work, please click here to contact our help team.
Is something broken?

Hey!
This is somewhat of a common issue with strange configuration issues with specific machines. Especially on Macs.
Our engineers have identified three possible causes and solutions for this issue:
-
Highly sensitive anti-virus software. The way to get around this is to whitelist moz.com in the software. If you are running Sophos Anti-Virus on Mac. Disable the option 'Block malicious downloads from websites, protecting your Mac from obfuscated, polymorphic and zero-day threats before reaching your browser'.
-
Enterprise firewalls that block us, which you may need to work with your IT department on if you do not have direct access to your firewall settings.
-
VPN connection/profiles. Disabling or removing the VPN profile has been known to be a common issue.
We confirmed that the problem was the Cisco AnyConnect client installed on his machine. Even if the client isn't actively running, a background service it installs blocks CORS requests. Uninstalling it allowed him to use MA immediately.
Here's an article describing the problem, and a possible workaround:
http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2559-cisco-anyconnect-vpn-client-may-block-cors-ajax-options-requests.htmUltimately our guess is a software update is compromising key security files that are preventing access to ajax options requests and a last resort fix has been a re-install of an OS. It's very tricky but hopefully one of the above issues is the culprit, which can be fixed.
Hope this helps!

If you do have problems in the future, could you send us a note at help@moz.com? There's some one-on-one help we can give you with a couple of alternatives. Thanks!

I did a little more digging, and here's what I found. When connected to the network in question, I get numerous errors in the browser console like this when loading the pro home or campaign pages:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://vanguard.moz.com/pro-home/campaign-list-lite/prod.3938937. Origin http://analytics.moz.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. (home, line 0)
I do not get those errors (at least I have not thus far) when connected to other networks. I don't know much about the network setup here, but I do believe there is a proxy in place.

So glad to hear that, and thanks for letting us know that it's fixed!

To answer my own question, the problem seems to have been network/firewall related. When I switched to a different internet connection, everything started working fine...

Why is Moz unable to crawl my site?
Was hoping someone could advise why Moz is unable to crawl my site at https://www.oceaniacruises.com **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Oct 5, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

Why can't I add more than one campaign in my trial version of MOZ?
Hi, I'm on the 30 day trial and I can only run one campaign right now. I thought I could add in 5 campaigns. When I go into Manage Campaigns the 'add a campaign' button is light blue and I can't click it. Is this just because I'm on the trial? Or should I be able to add 4 more campaigns?

Setting up a new campaign stalling on last page
I went through all the steps to set up a new campaign, and am on the last page, where I list competitors. When I click finish, however, the site spins for a few seconds, then does not proceed. I even checked the URLs. Is there a problem with the site right now? I am assuming the social links are optional because they are greyed out, and I am not getting any error messages after I click finish, just nothing. Help!

Can't setup new campaign
Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a new campaign for a website which has Cloudflare installed. After I enter the campaign name and URL the loading circle comes up and spins for a while, but then it just stays on the same page. No error message is given. I can't get to the next page of the setup campaign form sequence so that I can set up this campaign. Has anyone else had this problem and is there any fix? Thanks in advance
