Problem with client registration

Hi Donny

Thanks for your question. That's a new error on me.

Can you give us an overview of the server (output of phpinfo would be good.)

Can you also go to http://your.server/xmds.php and see if an error is served there.

Cheers

Alex

The xmds.php page displays fine, no errors at all.

Thanks for taking a look and the quick response.

Hi Donny

Quote from Dan:
"1. Enable Debug and Audit from Management -> Settings -> Error
2. Attempt to register a client
3. Navigate to Management -> Log. Filter for last 200 seconds (or since you clicked register). You can also filter on "xmds" from the page selection. Is there anything listed?

If there is nothing listed I suspect there is a fatal PHP error going on that we haven't checked. In this case go to /xibodir/lib/include.php and edit line 25

ini_set('display_errors', 0);

change to

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

-Re-navigate XMDS and see what occurs
-Re-register the display from client options

Sorry there is so much here to debug there is a blueprint that I really want to work on (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/server-mode) which would make this much easier I think!

Cheers,
Dan"

If you could try those things and report back that would be great.

Cheers

Made the changed requested above and the log still only displays the following error:
<errormsg>Creating default object from empty value</errormsg>
<errornum>2048</errornum>
<errortype>Runtime Notice</errortype>
<scriptname>C:\xampp\htdocs\xibo\3rdparty\nuSoap\nusoap.php</scriptname>
<scriptlinenum>75</scriptlinenum>

xmds.php still displays fine (gives me a list of items on the left like RegisterDisplay,RequiredFiled, etc) after changing line 25 to the requested setting.

Though, this may be unrelated, when going to the dashboard I now receive the following error:
Notice: Undefined variable: p in C:\xampp\htdocs\xibo\template\pages\mediamanager.php on line 47

Though everything still functions on the dashboard. I'm assuming this is a non issue and the notice would be suppressed if display_errors was set back to 0.

Thanks,
Donny.

Hi Donny,

After reading a little more closely about your problem I am fairly confident it is not an Xibo server issue at it. Instead I think we should focus on the client to further debug this problem.

Would it be possible for you to download the Debug Build of the client and try to register a display with that instead? This will output the entire error message in the results window (when in options).

There is an installation kit available here: http://launchpad.net/xibo/1.0/1.0.0-rc3/+download/xibo-client-1.0.0-rc3-win32-x86-DEBUG.msi

In addition to that could you also look in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Current User\Application Data\Xibo\Xibo Digital Signage\2.0.0.0\
for the log.xml and also any .ready files there are. It would be useful if you could mail these logs to <email address hidden>

I hope we can help you get Xibo working!

Cheers,
Dan

I think the issues I'm having are related to the server (physical server, not server portion of Xibo). I set it up on a different machine running XP SP3 and everything worked without a hitch.

Thanks for all your help on this.
