XIBO CMS install Problem on Windows - nothing happens!

Get Help
1

I downloaded and installed XAMP fine onto my Win7 Pro PC, it started fine, running as admin. I downloaded XIBO-cms-1.7.5 and extracted it to the HTDOCS directory. When I open a Firefox browser and go to http://localhost/XIBO and nothing appears. No errors - nothing.

Using Internet Explorer, however, I get an error “This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.” IE Help is no help.

The XAMP apache access logs show "::1 - - [07/Jan/2016:13:15:20 -0500] “GET /XIBO/ HTTP/1.1” 500 - “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko” so it sees it trying. But nothing. Can anyone help?

Hi,

First make sure that you did everything described in following articles:
Environment (XAMPP) and Install CMS Guide

Now the error itself could be caused by a few things, could you perhaps have a look in XAMPP error log for details?

I looked at both those pages and the only thing I changed was putting a password on the MySQL root user. Otherwise I had already done all that.

Today’s error log for XAMP:

Does the SSL error have anything to do with my inability to install the CMS?

@dstreb

Your server will not allow incoming connections to HTTPS if your SSL certificate is not valid.
Is the SSL certificate a necessity for your server, or could you try temporarily disabling it?

Just to make sure whether this will let you access the site.

Have you tried accessing other files than the ones provided by XIBO?

I put an index.html file in the htdocs directory to test and it came up fine when I entered http://localhost/index.html. And it runs the XAMP welcome screen when I go to Http://localhost
