for all the guys who have trouble to install ZeroMQ on an Windows System.
ZeroMQ is not working with PHP-Versions above 7.2.x !!!
1: Server-Environment:
1.1 You have to check what version of PHP is installed on your Webserver:
You can find that information, when you open your PHP-Info-File:
In my case the PHP-Version: 5.6.40
1.2 Under which Architecture the Server is running:
In my case the Server is running in the x64 Architecture (64bit)
1.3 Is the Server running under Thread Savety Conditions:
In my case: enable
2. Microsoft Visual C++ Version
ZeroMQ needs Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes to run correctly.
If you have a x64 Server running, it‘s necessary to have both Runtimeversions
(x32 and x64) installed on the Server!!!
These are:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (VC9)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (VC10)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (VC11)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (VC12)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (VC14)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (VC15)
I made it easy and installed all. After that, don’t forget to reboot.
3. What ZeroMQ version I need:
Here you can download the ZeroMQ Package:
https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/zmq/
1.1.1 = PHP Version 5.3.x – 5.5.x
1.1.2 = PHP Version 5.3.x – 5.6.x
1.1.3 = PHP Version 7.0.x – 7.2.x
In the name oft the file TS = Thread Save
NTS = None Thread Save
VC9 means: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (VC9)
VC11 means: Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (VC11)
VC14 means: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (VC14)
VC15 means: Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (VC15)
derived therefrom I need the following package:
PHP- Version = 5.6.40
Architecture = X64
Thread Save = Enable
php_zmq-1.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x64.zip
I must have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (VC11) in x32 and x64 Version
4. Installing
Download the right zip Archiv from the link above.
Unpack the following files to the folders:
File libzmq.dll must copied to your PHP folder
File php_zmq.dll must copied to your PhP-folder/ext
after that you must go to your PHP.ini and edit the following line:
Under the chapter: „Dynamic Extensions“ you must write the line:
extension=php_zmq.dll
Sometimes it would be necessary, that you write the following line in your
http.conf to load the .dll in the Apache Webserver.
LoadFile "C:\server-path\php\libzmq.dll"
After the last step, you must go to your
Control Panel
System
System Proberties
Environment Variables
System Variables
Under the Key: „Path“ you must write down the path to your PHP-Directory
In my case: c:\server-path\php
Finally you must reboot your Windows Server and do the Xibo-System-Test again.
Hopefully the ZeroMQ Extension is successfull installed.
5. Configure the XMR Service under a Windowssystem
Please go to:
In your Webroot-Folder\xibo\vendor\xibosignage\xibo-xmr
In my case: C:\xampp\htdocs\xibo\vendor\xibosignage\xibo-xmr
and create a empty texfile
write in that textfile:
{
"listenOn": "tcp://127.0.0.1:50001",
"pubOn": ["tcp://Webserver_IP:9505"],
"debug": true
}
Save and close it.
Rename it to: config.json
Now you must call the xmr.phar to start the XMR-Service.
In my case i have a Batch-Script to start the XMR-Service on Systemstart:
Its importent that the script is allways running. If it don‘t run, XMR don’t work!!!
6. Configure XMR in Xibo
Login in Xibo an go to : Settings -> Displays:
under XMR Private Address : tcp://127.0.0.1:50001
Under XMR Public Address: tcp://Webserver_IP:9505
Save
Go to: Display Settings: Chose your Display-Profile that you use and chose “edit” on the
Menu
under XMR Public Address you write: tcp://Webserver_IP:9505
save
Go to: Displays and push the Button “Column visibility” an chose “Xmr-Registered” to
display that your Xibo-Player received XMR-Commandos.
In Displays in menu chose: “Edit” and than got to “Advanced” and make a check on
“reconfigure XMR” and save it.
After that restart your Player.
Hopefully you get a hook at “XMR-Registerd” in Displays an so you can send commands and
recieved screenshots from the player.
