Xibo

Config problem when installing Xibo

Asked by Ricky Price

Hi there
I am trying to setup Xibo for the first time after continued problems with my MagicInfo software. I have installed following the guidelines and get as far as creating the database and then get the following errors:

Creating new database.

Could not create a new database with the administrator details. Please check and try again.

MySQL Error:
Can't create database 'xibo'; database exists
< Back

Also I noticed in the XAMPP Control Panel lots of errors, I have saved a screen shot which I can send if required.
Please help, regards Ricky

You already have a database called Xibo in your system. You either need to delete it or choose a different name.

Hi Alex

I have created a database with a new name (xibo1) and when I hit next get the following screen:
Creating new database.

It just sits on this screen (on the instructions it says I should see a button 'next' but this doesn't appear). This was the same issue I had yesterday. Could it be that the database just takes some time to create? or am I doing something else wrong.

Edit your php.ini file and set max_execution_time to a larger value (it defaults to 30 seconds and your hardware isn't building the database in that time, so it never completes).

Once you've edited php.ini, you'll need to restart Apache and install again (again either deleting the database or creating a new one).

Hi Alex

Many thanks, that did the trick!! Just going to start configuring the clients (4 in total) which I may get done today. Is there any issues with running this software on Samsung Magic info screens that you know about or should it all work?

Much appreciated your help this morning!
Regards Ricky

Assuming they're standard Windows PCs underneath it should work fine. I vaguely remember someone mentioning they'd done this but it's not something I have experience of.

They are running XP Embedded so should be fine, The Xibo interface looks so much better than the MagicInfo software I've been using. I'll see how I get on, cheers again!

The only issue may be getting the required version of the .net framework installed as I believe that's not supported. I'm certain it can be forced to install though!
