Hi Abhijeet,

Did you make any configuration changes to BigBlueButton (outside the documentation)?  Did the join request work before?

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

Thank you for replying!!!

I followed just the steps given in "http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#can-i-provide-external-access-to-a-bigbluebutton-server-behind-my-firewall". Just to replace the public IP with the domain name.

However, apart from making the changes. This was the first time that I received any other error apart from the Error 500 i.e. port 1935 and 9123 not getting connected with external IP.

Please suggest any solution, as I had mentioned earlier that I am a newbie.

Hi Abhijeet,

Can you post the output of 

 sudo bbb-conf --check

(We can see you had done this before in another thread, but we want to see if the above command still outputs any errors).

Regards,... Fred

Hi Abhijeet,

I think the problem is highlighted on this line

> /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties (bbb-web)
>                      bbb-web host: 192.168.0.159

You have your server setup to serve from webfeniks.com, but the bigbluebutton application (running within tomcat7) is being told to listen on the local IP address.  If you edit

  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties

and change the setting for bigbluebutton.web.serverURL to be

bigbluebutton.web.serverURL=http://webfeniks.com

and then restart your server

   sudo bbb-conf --restart

It should work.

Try the above and let us know the results.


Regards,.. Fred
