Hello,

I have installed bigbluebutton on google cloud platform.  I have established the development environment and BBB is working on the desired lines.  I have replaced the default.pdf with my own default.pdf.  since then I am getting this error.  The default presentation does not appear on the BBB page. I have removed the demo meeting completely by uninstalling the same.

 I am attaching the bbb-bonf --check for your perusal and necessary information.
sarma@bbsst:~$ sudo bbb-conf --check

Hi Chervela,

It looks like you've setup a development environment.  Can you first try reverting back to the packaged version of BigBlueButton client and let us know if that works.

See

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/setup.html#switching-back-to-the-packaged-client

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

Thank you for the prompt response to the post. 

I switched back to the packaged version and found no errors.  Later, I switched back to the development setup did a restart followed by clean which did not result in errors.  However,  a redirection from the client/BigBlueButton.html is not reflecting now.

Pardon me, I forgot to mention the following after switching back to development setup.  After the restart I got the following error:

Warning: The directory

#

#     #/home/sarma/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client

#

# does not exist.  The BigBlueButton client will not load.

And when I did a clean I got this:

........Startup unsuccessful: could not connect to http://130.211.254.17/bigbluebutton/api

I have no Idea what to do.

Hi Chervela,

> Warning: The directory

> #

> #     #/home/sarma/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client

Review the steps in

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/setup.html#setting-up-the-environment

especially the step in setting up the link to the development directly in the nginx configuration file located in /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client.nginx.

In the documentation, it gives the example of

> # BigBlueButton Flash client.

> location /client {

>    root /home/firstuser/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client;

>    index index.html index.htm;

> }

Yours will be different.  Check that the directory pointed to by root exists and is readable by www-data.

Regards,... Fred

P.S.  In the future, please post development-related questions to bigbluebutton-dev, see
