Basic Xibo Help

[foofighterjim]

I am investigating Xibo and am looking to do a test setup to see how the office staff get on with updating it.

 

I am ashamed to be saying this but, I have never setup a web server from scratch and am having some trouble getting this to run on Server 2008 R2 (IIS). I have tried with little success to Google my way around the issues but I have now hit a brick wall. What I have done so far:

 

1. Installed Server 2008 R2 Standard onto a fresh VM.

2. Given the server a static IP and assigned the Web Server (IIS) role.

3. Installed PHP and MySQL via XAMPP.

 

Issue 1: Apache service would not start on port 80, I changed the Apache httpd.conf to port 8080. It then started. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Issue 2: As only for testing I moved the extracted Xibo folder to the default website, however when browsing to http://localhost/xibo/ I do not get the install page, I get an ftp like list of files and directories (Even though FTP Server Services are not installed). If I click on install.php I get:

 

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

 

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

 

I have been looking at this for days and I just can't seem to get something that should be quite easy to work. If anyone has any advice or pointers to where I have gone wrong I would really appreciate it. Any EduHobNobs knocking about today?

I didnt set mine up on a server with IIS - I did it straight from my PC with XAMPP following the instructions on the Xibo website - have you tried turing IIS off incase its interfering?

 

Edit - I just checked my install - my Apache ports are 80, 433 and My SQl is on 3306 if thats of any help!

Because you have installed the IIS role (a web server) its intefering with your apache install (a web server)

 

Just use apache

Got it, they are conflicting on port 80. So now I don't have IIS where is my web root?

In the XAMPP directory e.g. C:\xampp\htdocs

Guys, thank you so much! Mainly for managing to not laugh at me long enough to actually respond!
