Uploading images not working

Get Help
1

Hello

Iā€™m using a fresh install of v1.8 with Wampserver on Window 7. When I try to upload an image into the library I click on add image button within the media section. The explorer window opens from my OS and allows me to select the image, I click OK. Then within Xibo I click the blue upload button. I see the progress bar activate and complete, but then I get this message ā€œUpload server currently unavailableā€ and the file does not upload.

Could you please enable debugging, recreate the issue in new tab and see if there are more information about this error on Logs page?

I assume that you did install your CMS as described in the manual pages you mentioned?

I read the information from this link in the DEV section, where Alex explains that v1.8 cannot be installed the same way as v1.7 series, which I did not do :confused:

So, IF you are doing a custom or manual install (without using Docker) [here are the docā€™s instructions] (http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/manual_install.html). Iā€™ve learned that the main difference for this installation from the v1.7 series is ONLY the files within the ā€œwebā€ folder are to be placed in your normal Wampserver location. All the other files are to be stored ā€œoutsideā€ of the normal Wampserver location. Read full instructions for placing files. Is this correct Peter?

Iā€™ll be re-installing my new version 1.8 this week and if I have more questions Iā€™ll post again. But, please let me know if I have a good understanding. Thanks!

Yeah, that seems to be correct, the manual pages for environment and manual installation should be helpful.

Alternatively, you could use docker as thatā€™s the fully supported way of installing 1.8.

Youā€™ll need to use a VPS or physical server with Docker to get the full feature set.

We do recommend docker environment for 1.8 series, the installation instructions can be found here - for docker http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/install_docker.html and for the CMS via docker http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/install_cms.html

We of course also support 1.8 series on our cloud hosting if that would be of interest to you.

If you want to persist and try a custom installation, then the pre-requisites for 1.8 series custom installation (ie not docker) are in the manual page that youā€™ve linked in your post.
