Technically this guide could be used for 16.04 and 16.10 (maybe even 17.10 when it arrives), but I tested on 17.04. I wanted to get Xibo installed to stop using a monthly subscription for terrible service, save some money, be the hero, and get a slightly larger bonus.<\/p>\n

Install Ubuntu 17.04<\/strong>
\nLAMP<\/code>
\nMail<\/code>
\nStandard<\/code>
\nOpenSSH<\/code><\/p>\n

Enable Root, SSHD Config (optional, may make your configuration less secure)<\/strong>
\nsudo passwd root<\/code>
\nnewpassword<\/code>
\nsudo su -<\/code>
\nnano \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config<\/code>
\nPermitRootLogin yes<\/code>
\nCtrl x<\/code>
\ny<\/code>
\nservice sshd restart<\/code><\/p>\n

Update Your Server<\/strong>
\napt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade<\/code>
\ny<\/code><\/p>\n

Install PHP 5.6<\/strong>
\nI know, by default LAMP installs PHP 7 now. We need PHP 5.6+ but less than 7.
\nadd-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/code>
\napt-get update<\/code>
\napt-get install php7.0 php5.6 php5.6-mysql php-gettext php5.6-mbstring php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-xdebug libapache2-mod-php5.6 libapache2-mod-php7.0<\/code><\/p>\n

Install PHP 7 (NOTE: XIBO CURRENTLY DOES NOT SUPPORT PHP 7+, SO THESE NOTES ARE TO BE DISREGARDED)<\/strong>
\napt-get install php-gd php-mcrypt php-soap php-dom php-curl php-zip<\/code><\/p>\n

Switch From PHP7 to PHP5.6<\/strong>
\na2dismod php7.0 ; sudo a2enmod php5.6 ; sudo service apache2 restart<\/code>
\nupdate-alternatives --set php \/usr\/bin\/php5.6<\/code><\/p>\n

Switch From PHP5.6 to PHP7 (OPTIONAL)<\/strong>
\na2dismod php5.6 ; sudo a2enmod php7.0 ; sudo service apache2 restart<\/code>
\nupdate-alternatives --set php \/usr\/bin\/php7.0<\/code><\/p>\n

Download XIBO, Change Permissions on Apache (Currently version 1.8.2)<\/strong>
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/xibosignage\/xibo-cms\/releases\/download\/1.8.2\/xibo-cms-1.8.2.tar.gz<\/code>
\ntar xvzf xibo-cms-1.8.2.tar.gz<\/code>
\nmv xibo-cms-1.8.2 \/var\/www\/html\/xibo-server<\/code>
\nchown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/xibo-server<\/code>
\napache2ctl restart<\/code><\/p>\n

Create XIBO Uploads Directory<\/strong>
\nmkdir \/var\/www\/xibouploads<\/code>
\nMy Default www (documentroot) location is \/var\/www\/html, so this created directory is outside of the www realm (good thing).
\nchown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/xibouploads<\/code><\/p>\n

Configure XIBO Installation<\/strong>
\nOpen a web browser to http:\/\/YOURSERVERIP\/xibo-server\/web\/install\/index.php
\nYou may want to change your document root or apache virtual host at a later time because remembering http:\/\/YOURSERVERIP\/xibo-server\/web\/index.php\/login is a PITA.
\nFollow the white rabbit<\/del> wizard to complete the setup.<\/p>\n

Edit Apache and Redirect<\/strong>
\nI ended up creating a virtual host for my system and adding a redirect (there was a pesky “I want to load \/login instead of index.php” issue).
\nnano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled\/000-default.conf<\/code>
\nAt the bottom add:<\/p>\n

<VirtualHost *:80>
\nServerAdmin ITSUPPORT@yourcompany.tld
\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/xibo-server\/web
\nServerName xibo
\nServerAlias xibo.yourdomain.local
\n<Directory “\/var\/www\/html\/xibo-server\/web”>
\nOptions -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
\nAllowOverride All
\nOrder allow,deny
\nAllow from all
\n<\/Directory>
\n<\/VirtualHost><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enable modrewrite in apache with a2enmod rewrite, or cp \/etc\/apache2\/mods-available\/rewrite.load \/etc\/apache2\/mods-enabled\/ | apache2ctl restart
\nsudo a2enmod rewrite<\/code><\/p>\n

Add the \/login redirect
\nnano \/var\/www\/html\/xibo-server\/web\/.htaccess<\/code>
\nAt the bottom add the following:<\/p>\n

Redirect \/login\/ \/index.php<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
