I have implemented Xibo Docker 1.8.3 on Ubuntu server recently. I got it completely working on HTTP. I now want to configure HTTPS, because I run the client behind a domain which already has a certificate.
I followed this tutorial: Xibo 1.8.1 config to force https with own cert
and thought I got it working. I can access my management portal through https :// mydomain. com:8080, where I forwarded port 8080 to port 443 on my xibo-server (forwarding to port 80 results in “ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR” on chrome).
I can connect displays (Windows Players) and add them as displays in the management portal, however, they will never load the content they have to show. I get the following error in the client:
Error|CalcMD5|Unable to calc the MD5 because: can’t get access to file: …/12.otf because it’s used by another proces.
But then I noticed that in “RequiredFiles.xml” on the client every path to files is:
http :// mydomain. com:8080/…
instead of
https :// mydomain. com:8080/…
And if I try to go to http :// mydomain. com:8080 I get the following error:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You’re speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at 127 .0.1. 1 Port 443
I also don’t understand why the error above states that Apache runs at 127.0.1.1, since I have never ever inserted that IP anywhere, only 127.0.0.1 sometimes for loopbacks. Looks like a typ-o, but can’t find it anywhere.
When I enable “Force HTTPS” in “Settings > Network” I’m no longer able to do anything in the management portal.
I just don’t know what to try anymore. My feeling is that I need to be able to tell the displays they need to get their media from httpS :// mydomain. com/… instead of http. Buy I don’t know how.
