When performing the installation of CMS 2.3.7 an error occurs so that the direction to the second step of the installation enters an infinite loop and will never be completed.
The solution to this bug is to open your code editor and copy the code from CMS version 2.3.4 from the .htacess file and paste it into the .htacess in CMS version 2.3.7
You have “web” in the URL you’re using to access the CMS.
That means you’ve not correctly configured the webserver per the installation instructions. You will have all kinds of problems with the CMS as a result. You need to go back and correct that. See https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/prepare-your-environment
In addition, if you are going to run Xibo in a sub-directory on your webserver, then you need to adjust the .htaccess RewriteBase line to match that custom path - so in your case something like:
RewriteBase /online/xibo-cms-2.3.7/
assuming you aliased the CMS web directory to that location.
You are still exposing parts of the Xibo code that are not designed to be publicly exposed, and therefore at far greater risk of having a security issue. Please review the documentation I provided and use an alias or change the webroot as we intend.
I have applied your solution, but now i cant connect my android device with server. as @alex said you will get issues in future without proper installation.
can you please tell me is this my CMS server address to put on android player? http://127.0.0.1/xibo/web/
Or it is my ip address?
i am getting error when putting ip address.
Unable to Register due to Error:expected:START_TAG{http://schema.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/} Envelope (position:START_TAG(<html lang='en'>)

For me i have juste change in web/.htaccess and install work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/install/.$
by (add . before /install and after ^)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^./install/.$
And install work without ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
the URL was :
I was trying for a few days a new installation in the latest version 2.3.7.
But I had the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (with Chrome)
I tried on host and local with XAMPP.
I don’t use Docker, directly on Apache web server.
I came across this topic and so far I have only changed the line with /install/ in file .htaccess
Be careful, if you took the, .htaccess from version 2.3.4, lines have been added in 2.3.7
Try to hand over the .htaccess version 2.3.7 after the installation is done?
If you have web in the URL you are using to access the CMS, you have a serious security risk and you need to correctly configure your webserver per the instructions I sent previously.
The only permissable change to the .htaccess file is to uncomment and modify the RewriteBase /xibo line to match any webserver alias you use (ie if you have the CMS in a subdirectory).
@angle_lina - you have web in the URL. That won’t work.
Please follow the install guide and correctly configure your webserver, and it will then work. If you find configuring webservers hard, then use Docker where it’s all done for you. We cannot offer any support for a CMS where you have web in the URL as it’s fundamentally installed wrongly and will not work properly.
