no communication with the server

Pls check your xmdsURL it should be like xmdsUrl=http://127.0.0.1/xibo

Thanks for the fast answer but the problem is still persists.

14.04 isn't supported for the client so I'd be surprised if it works at
all. However, try setting requireXmds to true initially to get the client
Registered

Now i built it again on a Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and still have the same Problem.
When i activate requireXmds the Register Display flag would be red.
Thanks for the great support.

That's normal. You need to go to your CMS and licence the display before
anything else will happen

But there is no display showen in the CMS

Then the server key in the client config is wrong. If you look at the
client logs it will tell you why it's unable to register

The logfile says that the client can not connect to XMDS:

Then you need to investigate why that is.

If you open a browser on the client and visit
http://127.0.0.1/xibo/xmds.php?wsdl what do you get?

So your webserver is returning a different address for itself

http://172.17.10.149//xibo/xmds.php

That url isn't correct so the client can't then connect to the service.

You need to configure your webserver correctly to return either a fully
qualified DNS name for itself or something like 'localhost'

I have check this with localhost and 127.0.0.1 on the server to. It was just to copy it from my workstation to this window because the xibo server isn't connect to the internet.

Yes, but in the xml returned you'll see that the server is redirecting the
client to that other address.

But if I add a windows client to the server there wouldn't any problems.

The Windows client doesn't correctly honour the redirect in the WSDL.

You need to get that correct, then it will work. I can't help you any
further until you fix that

Thanks Alex Harrington, that solved my question.

But if i type http://localhost//xibo/xmds.php?wsdl into a browser on my ubuntu server the soap:address location="http://localhost/xibo/xmds.php" in the xml file. I don't know what i should configure at my webserver (apache)
sorry for the trouble caused to you

From the client machine, can you access the CMS at http://localhost/xibo?

If so, then use localhost in the configuration file rather than 127.0.0.1

Yes, I can reach it. But after the configuration change the problem is still the same.

That's very strange. Can you connect the client to a cloud account? You can
sign up for a free demo at http://springsignage.com

No sorry
We have very hard safety instructions for our network. But thanks for your help. I will test it at a ubuntu 10.04 to check xibo with older client versions .

Try hardcoding the correct address in the WSDL at the CMS end - it is in lib/service/service.wsdl. Just replace {{XMDS_LOCATION}} with your correct address.

Still the same problem

What does it say now in the logs?

Sorry but there are no changes in the logfile
Just the same:

Sorry, that has progressed beyond my knowledge - you may have to try on 12.02

Without being able to test against a known good CMS I don't see how we can
progress this I'm afraid

Thanks for your help all problems are solved i have set of a new ubuntu 10.04 server and installed it manualy.
