Installing XIBO for the first time.
CMS Server: Windows Server 2012 R2; IIS 8; PHP 5.3.28
Client: Windows 7; 64-bit
Server seems fine from admin side.
Client runs but only download 2 resource files.
Generates errors trying to download the other 19 files.
Invalid XML in file …
SOAP error … invalid utf-8 strings
Help.
Open php.ini file and find
always_populate_raw_post_data -1 make sure it’s not commented out (no ; before that line)
Save changes and restart your web server.
Restart your player and try again.
If that’s not it, please show us a screenshot of status window on your player.
We saw an early post about the always_populate_raw_post_data. We made that change … no change in behavior.
The status window shows.
At the CMS server … the PHP53_error.log shows multiple entries … slightly different names:
[27-Sep-2016 11:06:21 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error: SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: string ‘O\x89…’ is not a valid utf-8 string in F:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xibo\services.php on line 131
Success! I upgrade the server and the client to version 1.7.9 … client now talks to the server and displays simple content. Very nice.
Well, I’m glad that the newest version seem to work fine for you
