Error code 500 after copy back bigbluebutton.war.orig to bigbluebutton.war when grails war made a broken war.

[Pccom Frank]

Hi, gurus!

I did a fresh install 10.04 and .081 install. Every thing works following the instruction --bigbluebutton rocks!

Then I go ahead to the web part.

gradle resolveDeps

grails -Dserver.port=8888 run-war

grails war  made a bigbluebuttonv0.7dev.war
I mv it to bigbluebutton.war

Before I copy it to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps

I made a backup
mv /var/lib/tomcat6/bigbluebutton.war /var/lib/tomcat6/bigbluebutton.war.orig

then I did
sudo cp bigbluebutton.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps

cd /var/lib/tomcat/webapps

chown tomcat6:tomcat6 *

I linked back to the original and restarted tomcat and nginx

Then I goto the web site and click join the demo meeting.
not working !

Now I go back to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
I mv back bigbluebutton.war.orig bigbluebutton.war

I restart tomcat6 and nginx

Still, it is not working.

I did a chmod +x bigbluebutton.war
Still not working.

Please help!
I did not do any change and I forked the bigbluebutton today.

When you copy the war to tomcat6/webapps you don't need to change any permissions tomcat should detect the new war and deploy it automatically.

The other potential issue is with your nginx settings. If you followed the steps to make a web_dev nginx configuration file and then linked web.nginx to web_dev, you need to make sure to link web.nginx back to web so that the the deployed webapp is used instead of the development grails version.

Can you post the actually error message if you're getting one please, saying that "it doesn't work" isn't really helpful. Also can you post the results of bbb-conf --clean and bbb-conf --check, they can help narrow down your issue.

I did a bbb-conf --setip <my web site name>
then a bbb-conf --clean
It works now!

So the war made by grails is not broken.

I am alive now.

Thank God and you!
