Issue
When installing Xibo CMS, some questions and issues came to show. Major and minor, that i cannot find answers to in the documention. This is two of them. 
First, about the library folder.
When running the installer, one question is about the library folder.
The documentation states:*
The first field asks for the Library Location that Xibo should store the media you upload. The release archive included a folder for this, /library or a different folder can be used. Enter that folder here e.g /var/www/Xibo/library .*
My intention was to use that folder that was included in the release archive, but this was not possible since the folder was not empty. The folder contained a installation logfile, and even if i deleted it, it was created again before that check was made.
My solution to this was to create another folder and input the path here. After the installation finished, i could adjust this to the folder included in the release archive, since it did not seem to make a check if it was empty any more.
Second, about the keypair and encryption key.
The documentation states:
The CMS requires a pub/private RSA keypair and an encryption key to be saved in the library folder.
As you’re installing manually you’ll need to provide these yourself. You can override the generated keys paths and encryption key by providing an alternative in settings-custom.php.
My first issue here was where to find or create the “settings-custom.php”. The documentation does not say, but after some googling, i found two rows in /web/settings.php where this file was mentioned with an incorrect path, at least in my setup.
I corrected this to /custom/settings-custom.php and created the file there.
I then created a keypair and encryption key as stated in the docs, and saved them in the library folder (subfolder /certs).
Adjusted paths accordingly in settings-custom.php, which now looked like this:
$apiKeyPaths = [
‘publicKeyPath’ => ‘/opt/xibo/library/certs/public.key’,
‘privateKeyPath’ => ‘/opt/xibo/library/certs/private.key’,
‘encryptionKey’ => ‘/opt/xibo/library/certs/encryption.key’
];
I have no clue is this works or not at this time, but when i browse to the CMS, i get this message at the top:
Any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks in advance
