Difficulty installing client on Ubuntu (I'm a newbie)

Hi,

which Version of Ubuntu?

which Version of Xibo Server?
which Version of Xibo Client?

ubunto 10.04.4
xibo server 1.2.2 on windows
client 1.2.2

I'm really at the end of my rope here... I've been working on this since 7am :/

I've not seen that error before so it's hard to know where to begin.

It suggests the client isn't happy with the WSDL file it's getting from the server.

What have you put in site.cfg for the server address etc?

Alex

http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx/xibo

xxx=the IP that I am using

I am able to successfully connect to it using a windows client.

xmdsClientID=pridexibo

xmdsKey=Pride1

xmdsUpdateInterval=120

requireXmds=false

width=640

height=480

fullscreen=false

A windows client connecting doesn't proove it's not a server problem as the clients connect to XMDS in very different ways.

From the Linux box, what do you get if you visit http://ip.address/xibo/xmds.php?wsdl

You should get a whole load of XML? Do you?

No need to post all of it - just the first 10 lines or so.

Alex

Also check at the bottom of that WSDL, there's a stanza like:

<service name="xmds">
<port name="xmdsPort" binding="tns:xmdsBinding">
<soap:address location="http://server.org.uk/xibo/xmds.php"/>
</port>
</service>

Has that been correctly rewritten with the server IP address you're using or something else?

Alex

Also you said:

> ubunto 10.04.4
> xibo server 1.2.2 on windows
> client 1.2.2

Is the server running on IIS by any chance? Or if not what webserver is it using?

Alex

1) I get a bunch of xml when I type in that address (i'll post the first bit below)
2) the server IP address was written correctly to that file
3) I don't *think* it's running on IIS, I don't know much about servers, but it's running windows 7 and I'd just installed XAMPP to get apache and mysql

Sorry this code is so jumbled.

<definitions targetNamespace="urn:xmds"><types><xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:xmds"><xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/><xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/></xsd:schema></types><message name="RegisterDisplayRequest"><part name="serverKey" type="xsd:string"/><part name="hardwareKey" type="xsd:string"/><part name="displayName" type="xsd:string"/><part name="version" type="xsd:string"/></message><message name="RegisterDisplayResponse"><part name="ActivationMessage" type="xsd:string"/></message><message name="RequiredFilesRequest"><part name="serverKey" type="xsd:string"/><part name="hardwareKey" type="xsd:string"/><part name="version" type="xsd:string"/></message><message name="RequiredFilesResponse"><part name="RequiredFilesXml" type="xsd:string"/></message>

You've not redacted that at all? Because there's a load of stuff missing from the definitions tag of that XML compared to what I get from a 1.2.2 server:

<definitions xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:xmds" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="urn:xmds">
<types>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:xmds">
<xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
<xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
</xsd:schema>
</types>

Alex

I have not touched that file, I wasn't even aware that the problem file was on the server side of things

Is the 1.2.2 server you've installed unmodified?

Where did you get the code from? Did you branch it from the repo or download an official release file?

Would you mind giving me the actual URL this server is at via email so I can at least load the WSDL up and see for myself? My email is <email address hidden>

Cheers

Alex

I just downloaded the server installation files from the xibo site and installed them as per the instructions :/

I'll email you

Thanks Alex Harrington, that solved my question.

I've got it working.

I'm not exactly sure HOW, but I started from scratch and CAREFULLY installed the client and server exactly as per the instructions, it went smoother this time because I've learned a few tricks to using the terminal in Ubuntu and it worked! Thank you so much for your help Alex, just knowing that I had someone to help with this project dropped the stress level quite a bit!
