When is ping the above URL it's pointing me to the IP address where I want to install BBB but in the end, installation gave me an error attached in the picture although subdomain had SSL as well but still giving me an error?

Hi Umair,

Is port 80 opened on the server to allow the http challenge to go through?

Regards,... Fred

Also facing the Let's Encrypt SSL request error!  That is not a problem when installing on 2.2 versions

Can you try running bbb-install.sh again (be sure to use wget to pull down the latest version) and let us know if you encounter the error again.

Regards,.. Fred

If I open
I see a cloudflare message. 

Please provide a
ip add
from the system. Looks like the DNS is not pointing to the correct IP-address...

Hi guys,

I made a couple of runs at installing bbb 2.3.1 on one of my boxes.
When I tried the login page the response was:

An update:

This box was previously running one of the early 2.3 version BBB
software.
I removed the bbb-demo routines, then signed in with the old URL that
was
working previously. Things came up working as before.

I didn't do the debugging to see what it would take to fix the JSP error
mentioned before.

Hi,

There was a problem with the dpkg because the updates were left unfinished. To fix:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt update

When I open this link http://meeting.stickifix.com/ it's showing Cloudflare error message, it's not a problem with BBB, it's a Cloudflare DNS  issue.
on your DNS A record, you can find a cloud symbol with proxied text change it to  DNS only (by clicking on the cloud symbol )

Run this command :

Then you will get your IP as output and run the installation script again. :)

Installed it again on https://bbb.stickifix.com in the end it gives the error shown in the attachment.

Now the subdomain has valid SSL nad and its point to my desired ip address as well but still installation gives error.

Hi,

It seems that the DNS addresses are not set correctly.

Can you check /etc/resolv.conf? I recommend using Google DNS.

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

If you are using netplan

/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
sudo netplan apply

DNS records are correct as they are pointing to the IP address where I'm installing BBB 2.3

when you ping the bbb.stickifix.com it will point you to 80.241.210.137 which is my contabo server.

Hi,

I am trying to install BBB 2.3 in AWS Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Have installed latest docker from repository before running bbb-install.sh script. However getting errors while I havre tried multiple times and on fresh instances. I can see similar errors re mentioned in this thread but could not find solution, kindly help to find one.

Ok, initially, I used the default memory (8 GB memory in EC2 Volume). After I modified the volume to 50 GB, everything seems to be good.

However, I am getting the following warning messages.

#

This thread is getting a bit complex as folks are posting different error messages.

> ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::UnknownHostError)

This message gives the reason for the error -- the server was unable to download https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz.  Are you able to download it on the command line


If so, it's worth trying to re-run the same bbb-install.sh command again.  If the above wget does not work, then something is preventing your server from downloading the gem.

Yes, I am able to download this file on the command line. Here is the screenshot. I have also tried to re-run the install script. I am still having this warning message. However, everything is working fine with respect to the meeting.
