  1. When I first installed it was all fine, it's when I got to the bit in the guide where it says go on localhost/xibo & that's where all the problems started
  2. It's really confusing! It's vista
  3. Tried what you've said, tried uninstalling & deleting all the files & then reinstalling... Still no joy
  4. It's because it can't open the file... Ive opened it with wordpad & seen the password bit empty do I've input it & saved but it's not made a difference. Would uninstalling it all make a difference?
  5. It's not letting me open that file...
  6. Well it all worked fine when I first installed it, but the guide said I needed to changed the password on the settings do the MySQL opened up fine at first (apart from being in German) & I changed the password like was asked... The next step was to go on the localhost/xibo but that didn't work.. So I tried to go back on MySQL and it just says that now...
  7. Yep, it says on the xampp control that it's running, I've tried stopping it and running it again... Still the same message
  8. Right, I've had another go at xibo as I've heard its fairly straight forward once you have the server done? I've not managed to get that far.. I have followed the guide on Xibo site and installed XAMPP When I click on the MYSQL Admin tab, like the guide says, it come up with and error screen which reads: Error MySQL said: The connection could not be established due to invalid settings. phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server is set up, however, has rejected the connection. You should check your settings for the host, username and password in your config.inc.php and make sure that the information that you received from the administrator, meet. Why is this? & If I try to access the http://localhost/xibo it says Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 404 localhost 04/07/12 16:27:00 Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 Any help??? Or should I go for the paid software option? Thanks
  9. I have just been looking at the hp mp8000r, aswell as the software such as mediacat, etc. Not sure whether these would be more suitable
  10. Right, I've had a go.. & failed I've followed the guide on xibo site & installed xampp. When I try to go on the local host bit it just says no website. Im not very tech minded with all these codes & that so if there's an alternative that would be better suited then I think that will be better. I have had a look into sedao, d|sign & the Samsung magic info & these all look fairly good and possibly more simple to use. The only downside is the sheer cost!
  11. Just the one.
  12. What's that???!
  13. Is Xibo fairly easy to use? I have just looked on the website and it seems good but a bit technical! Putting a clock on & the weather an option aswell? Sorry, i`m new to this!
  14. Cool, thanks. Well i`m wanting it to look quite professional... Ideally it's going to show: Slideshow of pictures Videos of activities Scrolling school news Dinner menu If we get technical then BBC news, etc... Thank you for the info on TV's- I didn't give that a thought!
  15. Hi, I am aware that this topic has been discussed a lot but i`m still a little unsure. Our school is looking into having a screen in the entrance hall. What my thought are is to get a LED screen and use one of our spare baseunits plugged in through VGA to control what is displayed. We will be using it to show pictures, school news, videos of activities. The base unit will be situated nearby and updated every week. Will this work and can anyone suggest any good/fairly cheap software to use? Does it need to have internet connection or is there some software that just works standalone with the screen? You can tell i`m all new to this! Also, if there is anyone in the area (Derby) who has a set up that I could come and see, please get in touch! Thank you for your help!
