About bbb-client configration

[duanxr]

Hi,everybody,

    I have installed bbb-0.81dev from packages,but after complied the source code and changed the ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/src/conf/config.xml (I comment out usersModule and recovered listenerModule and ViewersModule ),I could't open client .It said connecting to the server,but it never came in to the client widow.Is anyone can help?

Tell me how to modify the client config.xml.

     thanks

Hi Duan,

Can you check the URLs in 

  /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/conf/config.xml

the system config.xml (which comes with the default install) and your development config.xml in

  ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/src/conf/config.xml

Do the URLs match?

For example, in the system config.xml you'll see

  uri="rtmp://<your_host_or_IP>/bigbluebutton"

However, in the development config.xml, if you see the string 'HOST', as in

  uri="rtmp://HOST/bigbluebutton"

then you need to update your config.xml.  See

  https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/081DevelopingBigBlueButton#Setting_up_the_environment

If the development config.xml looks like it has the same URLs (and these are the URLs that the BigBlueButton client is using to connect to your server), then try restarting the BigBlueButton server.

  sudo bbb-conf --clean

(Here the '--clean' just cleans out the log files so you can more easily look for errors after startup).  In 0.81-dev, the bbb-web process caches the config.xml for a session, so if your making changes to the static config.xml -- whether it's the packaged config.xml or your development config.xml -- you need to restart BigBlueButton for those changes to take effect.  (This caching was an optimization done as part of the support for dynamic config.xml).

Let us know if the above gets you going.

Regards,... Fred

Did the client connect successfully before you made changes to config.xml?

I'm not sure if the viewers and listeners modules have been updated to the new red5 version. I think those two modules are planned to be removed at some point in the near future. I'm curious to know why you're using the two of them over the users module.

Hi Duan,

> I comment out usersModule and recovered listenerModule and ViewersModule

Now that the new Users module is working well, the old client code for listenerModule and ViewersModule will be removed (we don't want to keep around unused, untested code in master).

Anyone can of course go back through the git history and grab the code, but we're not going to be including it in master much longer.  Expect it to disappear soon.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred and Chad,

 Thanks for your advise. From your letter I know how to do it.I will use UsersModule to develop.
