The error that says "Could not connect to configured hostname" is a wget to "http://server/bigbluebutton/api". You can manually run the command "wget https://bbb.mywebsite.fr/bigbluebutton/api2 -O -" to see why it might be failing. It could be that the hostname doesn't resolve to an IP or the IP isn't reachable.

Wondering why some services want to connect through the IP, not the hostname, this does not work with ssl.

Hi Jean,

Just tried connecting to your server at 


and was able to connect and run BigBlueButton through the API demo.  (You'll want to remove these demos before you go to production).

If you do


on your server, does it resolve and give you a response?  If not, check the contents of 

  /etc/hosts

and there may be an entry pointing to the wrong IP address.


Regards,... Fred

On the server, can you do the command

Do you see the above response?

Hi,

It looks like the server is unable to make a connection to itself, which might be a result of 

 1.  An incorrect value in /etc/hosts
 2. A firewall rules that are preventing access to local hsot
 3. A missing cert on the machine that prevents it from validating the Let's Encrypt certificate 

You can test (3) if you try the wget command as http (not https).  Here's the result we see

<response><returncode>SUCCESS</returncode><version>1.1</version></response>


Regards,... Fred

Fred,

wget on https returns nothinq, it is ok with http.


Regarding (1),  etc/hosts contains the following:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost bbb.see.asso.fr bbb
176.31.252.141 bbb.see.asso.fr bbb localhost
2001:41d0:0008:0d8d::1 bbb.see.asso.fr bbb localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#(added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Not sure why "bbb" is there. I don't remember adding this, maybbe done by bbb install?

Regarding (2) , I added the serveur IP to the authorized IPs, no change.

Finally, regarding  (3) , Let's Encrypt seems to operate correctly, registered for bbb.see.asso.fr

If you've solved the problem ignore this.

The problem with the wget options that Fred gave are that when an error occurs nothing is printed to the console about why it failed. I put different options with the wget so that the error would be presented. Unfortunately I put a typo in my original URL and it was looking for "/bigbluebutton/api2" instead of "/bigbluebutton/api". If the request had of worked it would have resulted in a 404, but by the response you got it seems like it didn't get that far.

All of the Googling that I did on "nginx openssl: error:140770fc:ssl routines:ssl23_get_server_hello:unknown protocol" points to the issue being in the nginx configuration.

What do you suggest as wget in order to get some debugging info?
Nginx configuration is enforced by bbb install. 
Thanks

Running "wget https://bbb.mywebsite.fr/bigbluebutton/api -O -" should print out any error.I just tried your server though and I could login without issue. There's also this handy site for testing your SSL configuration https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html. It also didn't come back with any issues.

Is "bbb-conf --check" still saying "Error: Could not connect to the configured hostname/IP address"?

It looks like Nginx does not get ssl when queried from the server itself...

Did some more googling and came back with https://serverfault.com/questions/511162/ssl-error-curl-wget-unknown-protocol-wrong-version-number and https://askubuntu.com/questions/853446/wget-openssl-error140770fcssl-on-same-server-only. The cause of the problem in both posts was a misconfigured /etc/hosts file. What does your hosts file look like? It's possible that your hosts file needs to be modified or simplified to work.

I already tripple-checked this host file, and I simplified as much as possible

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
176.31.252.141 bbb.see.asso.fr
2001:41d0:0008:0d8d::1 bbb.see.asso.fr

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#(added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


I rechecked the wget:
[root@bbb ~]# wget -O- -q http://bbb.see.asso.fr/bigbluebutton/api; echo
<response><returncode>SUCCESS</returncode><version>1.1</version></response>
[root@bbb ~]# wget -O- -q https://bbb.see.asso.fr/bigbluebutton/api; echo

[root@bbb ~]#


So somethinhg is wrong with ssl locally - not from another server

I checked the suggested links, but cannot find something useful.

Thank you very much for your care.

Can you check 

 /var/log/bigbluebutton/bbb-web.log

just after you try to join a meeting from the API demos and get a 500 error.  You may see an error in that log as bbb_api.jsp tries to call the server to create a meeting.

Regards,... Fred

There is still

The only thing I did was insisting reinstalling using the all-in-one install command

You can try to start the service manually "sudo systemctl start kurento-media-server.service" and then check to see if there are any errors on start "journalctl -u kurento-media-server.service"

I am getting closer to success, but greenlight and mongod did not not resume after a server reboot.
I resintalled everything after having removed the greenlight container - that was the way to go instead of simply re-run install.sh. The webcam still fails to start. Bellow the output of the installation script which shows a linux package issue:

The kernel issue seems to prevent AUFS support.
docker info indicates
   Storage Driver: overlay2
Is that needed for BBB / Greenlight?

I found the problem.
A previous install of jitsi-meet was conflicting on port 8888.
The camera is now working.

Do you offer a paid support service that I can use to get the service fully functional?

There is no commercial support in these forums -- we all volunteer our time to help.  For more support options, check out

Is there any way to get BBB to run IPv6 only?  My one IPv4 address is behind NginX Proxy Manager and BBB is NginX based.  NginX does not play well behind NginX Proxy Manager.  I have an AAAA record set, but BBB fails to work with IPv6 only.
