How to have conference start page with bbb

[GillesM]

Hi,
Very glad to join you in this group and I hope to participate the best that I could
in this forum.
I've installed from scratch bbb 0.8 on an ubuntu 10.04 64bits dedicated server
All seems fine and I can connect at servid.no-ip.org but :

How to have conference start page with bbb in place of demo page ?
When I try to connect with  http://servid.no-ip.org/client/bigbluebutton.html
the bbb demo page appears after a very little while (or 404 when I purge bbb-demo package)

I know it is a silly question of new-by but I didn't find the trick

Best regards and thanks for any help to come

Here is output of bbb-conf --check :

  Hello,

The problem you are having is that your server is probably using DHCP to obtain the IP address. so every time you restart the server IP address change. To solve this temporarily, type the command "ifconfig" on the terminal and copy the ip address you see and change bbb to that IP using the command "bbb-conf --setip 10.10.10.0" if for example the output of your ifconfig is 10.10.10.0. To solve the problem permanently you need to assign a static ip address to your linux machine.

Very thanks for your answer and done so fastly but I've configurated
/etc/network/interfaces with ip static address as indicated below

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.205
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

when I submit the QFDN servid.no-ip.org I see the screen which
informs about modules loading
after a blank screen bbb demo page appears and I can't access
to create conference page.

I tried with this url servid.no-ip.org/client/bigbluebutton.html too,
but the same bbb demo page appears.

Before usinf QFDN, I'd tested with IP indicated by ifconfig and
the same bbb demo page occured.

Apart IP mismatch with domin name indicated at the end of
bbb-conf --clean I've not noticed something wrong.



Best regards

A couple of notes about your different comments:

• You can't go straight to servid.no-ip.org/client/BigBlueButton.html , you have to go through some sort of front end that uses the BBB api (The demos, wordpress plugin, sakai plugin, etc)
• You can ignore the IP mismatch that is mentioned at the end of bbb-conf --clean, it's expected once you've run bbb-conf --setip FQDN
• If you want to change the page loaded when you go to servid.no-ip.org you can edit the file "/var/www/bigbluebutton/index.html" and put in whatever code you want

I would leave the demos on your server though till you understand more about how the meetings are created and joined though.

Hello kindly take note that your server is running private IP address 192.168.x.x those are not publicly routable hence the reason why you can't reach reach via the public domain.
Do you have any public IP you can use?

Thank you very much for your answer It's an enlightment for me.

One month ago, I'd installed bbb O.71 on usb stick running with

a laptop to trial bigbluebutton and I could access to bbb server,

I run up some conferences wtih remote users.

0.8 is a big change !

Best regards

Hello,
BBB has changed in that  it's functionality is highly improved, especially with voice. However noting has changed with BBB connectivity settings.
You probably was able to use BBB remotely on 0.7 because you had a static public IP or dynamic public IP configured.

Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry because I didn't explain clearly

how I'd configured big blue buttoon

If I have a static ip address in my own network

I ran bbb-conf  --setip servid.no-ip.org

I used no-ip.org as provider of Qualified Full Domain Name

servid.no-ip.org is coup with static internet IP given by my IAP

I configured a cisco router (linksys E2400) to tranlate all flow  using port 80, 1935, 9123

to server with internal static ip 192.168.0.205

 In "Applications & gaming" submenu, in the tab "single port forwarding" as chown below :

Application Name   NoneFTPTelnetSMTPDNSTFTPFingerHTTPPOP3NNTPSNMPPPTP    NoneFTPTelnetSMTPDNSTFTPFingerHTTPPOP3NNTPSNMPPPTP    NoneFTPTelnetSMTPDNSTFTPFingerHTTPPOP3NNTPSNMPPPTP    NoneFTPTelnetSMTPDNSTFTPFingerHTTPPOP3NNTPSNMPPPTP    NoneFTPTelnetSMTPDNSTFTPFingerHTTPPOP3NNTPSNMPPPTP

External Port Internal Port Protocol To IP Address Enabled  ---  ---  --- 192 . 168 . 0.   ---  ---  --- 192 . 168 . 0.   ---  ---  --- 192 . 168 . 0.   ---  ---  --- 192 . 168 . 0.   ---  ---  --- 192 . 168 . 0.    TCP  UDP  Both  192 . 168 . 0.    TCP  UDP  Both  192 . 168 . 0.    TCP  UDP  Both  192 . 168 . 0.    TCP  UDP  Both  192 . 168 . 0.

Hello,

Thank you for your post,

Yes I have a static IP address given by my IAP and I've a domain name provided

by no-ip.org so I could run conferences with bbb 0.71.

If nothing have been changed with connectivity, I'm not able to do the

same with the bbb server 0.8 because I can't access to create conferenrence function

I tried this url http://servid.no-ip.org/client/bigbluebutton.html but I've been redirected

to bigbluebutton default starting page.

Best regards

If you want the most basic meeting creation you can install the demos and access http://servid.no-ip.org/demo/demo1.jsp. In order to create meetings you have to go through one of the demo pages or your own custom frontend page(s) that will make calls to servid.no-ip.org/bigbluebutton/api.

Best regards

Hello,

What really are you trying to achieve, you don't want the demo page to show when you type in the ip address of your linux machine or what. Please can you clarify ?
