I’ve run ‘docker compose -f cms_custom-ports.yml down’, deleted contents of ‘C:\Xibo\shared\db’ and run ‘docker compose -f cms_custom-ports.yml up -d’ to try and reset.
cms_custom-ports.yml just has the web port changed to 8080
Thanks in advance…

I gave up and hosted the CMS on Ubuntu and it just installed and loaded no problem. Suspect issue was with Windows and the Linux subsystem and documentation not being quite precise enough. Anyway, workaround was to use Unbuntu instead.
