XIBO step by step Installation IIS 8.5 on WINDOWS SERVER 2012

Dear Jeff, 500 Error is general error. But you can check file permissions
of IIS (over the folder of xibo files) Not read only, can write exc…
Please check my guide for 500 errors, it could be a solution.
Why you map /release-1.8.9 to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\release-1.8.9\web. Put
xibo files to a c:\xibo189 file and add site from IIS, physical folder is
c:\xibo189. And dont forget to to check permissions (connect as, Test
Settings)
As I remember in you could see IIS log in windows event log. Please check
application log, windows log both.

When I navigate to localhost it redirects to localhost/install, but the page is mostly blank. All I see is a black bar at the top with Xibo Digital Signage on the tab.

With the help of this manual installation guide and a little hint here (Can find mcrypt in PHP 7) I managed to get Xibo CMS 1.8.11 running on Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5.

The mcrypt is going to be dropped in 1.8.12 what I understood and have been reading on the Xibo CMS Github:

So far it seems to be working, in the coming days I’ll see if everything works fully fine and it all works well towards the screens as well. (Will post an update later on on this.)

could not open…why?
