first time for a few years using Xibo and whilst the docker install process was easy to follow and worked perfectly im now facing an issue which I can’t resolve and seems Xibo doesn’t want to know either…
this is a self hosted out the box on a dell R330 server with 3TB disk space and 64GB ram, installed perfectly and I was able to login and get my way around the CMS, ive since moved the server to its permanent home on a commercial site, I have SSH access and I can find the Xibo server on the IP which ive static set on the router using a MAC reservation…
when I try to login using xibo_admin and my password I get an error which says the following
un expected error, please contact support
does any one know what might be wrong with this instance as it worked fine before I powered down and moved the server…
I migrated my server over to another server and had the same issue.
I had a feeling it was a permission issue. On the server, which is still be configured, I chmod the entire xibo directory to 777 to verify my hunch that this was a permission issue. After this, the error went away. With that said, I think your issue is permission based as well.
According to another post I read on an older version, the permissions should be set in the following way:
So your webserver user needs read access to the whole directory tree. It needs write access to the /cache and /library directory, assuming you’re using the default locations.
You definitely don’t want anything chmod 777. That makes everything including files executable. Files should be chmod 644, directories chmod 755
