IIS doesn't set $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

[Alex Harrington]

Hi all i've recently setup a new xibo install on our Windows Server 2003 R2 (32bit) Application Server and have successfully got the server side working with IIS, everything is reading and writing as it should.

The issue i'm having is the clients are unable register with the server. I receive the below error from client options:

SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'http://server02?wsdl' : failed to load external entity "http://server02?wsdl"

Now the actual path to the xibo server is: http://server02/xibo and i can successfully log into the server using the address so i'm a bit confused as to why the clients show that error.

It is worth noting that I have previously setup xibo (for testing purposes) on an xp machine and used XAMPP and the client registered without a hitch.

Could my issue be down to using IIS?

If anyone would like any additional information then please ask.

Regards,
Chris Goodwin

Code in attached branch works but won't work on Apache server. Needs twiddling.

Can you try this version of lib/app/kit.class.php please. I think this should work on IIS and Apache servers alike.

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~alexharrington/xibo/iss-get-xibo-root/annotate/head%3A/server/lib/app/kit.class.php

If you go to that link there's a "download file" link at the top of the page to download the revised version.

Cheers

Did anyone manage to test this? If I can't get confirmation that it works on IIS OK then I won't be able to merge it in to the next release.

As we don't officially support or test on IIS I'm not going to setup a test install specially, so I'm relying on someone with this problem to check the code.

Cheers

Hi Alex,

Sorry for the delay i've been away from work for the last week.
I have just tested the new kit.class.php and it appears to be working correctly. I was able to register displays without any error messages.

Thanks Chris.

Hi,

Seems this one is an easy fix, thank you, Alex & Dane.

Some off-side topic, regarding to the features of the systems:
1. the layout design, anyway to make it WYSIWYG? or at least a button for designer to see the full demo of the contents in the client's end?

2. Monitor: anyway to show the screen shot of the client-end? Ideally it is live run, ie, the current screen at the client end.

3. remote control of the client end, eg, turn on/off the voice, on/off the LCD at specified time?

....

Hi Jason,
In future could you open up a new question for non-related items, thanks.

1. Unfortunately not - admittedly this would be nice
2. There is a blueprint for that here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xibo/+spec/client-schedule-screenshot
