Hi all,

I've installed a fresh version of bbb 0.9.0 in a Ubuntu 14.04

I followed the installation instructions to the letter and at the end i find that the freeswitch server is not starting. The freeswitch log:

root@seminar:/opt/freeswitch/log# tail freeswitch.log

Of course all the other services tomcat, nginx  and red5 cannot start. I have to interfaces lo and eth0 (external) so i even configured the 

I tried remove and install again with no success. Maybe a freeswitch config problem?. Somebody could shed some light on this?. I ran out of ideas.

Thanks in advance!, Diego

This isn't really related to your Freeswitch issue, but from your output I can see that some services (red5) have your IP address set and some services (nginx, bbb-web) have your Fully Qualified Domain Name set.

Did you run "bbb-conf --setip" after your install? Did it run successfully? Or did you edit some of the files manually?

Also, some of the error messages don't make sense (Error: Could not connect to the configured hostname/IP address and Error: Unable to reach default URL for presentation) because I can access both from my own computer. I'm not sure what it means, but it is odd.

Hi,
I edited the files manually. I didn't use bbb-conf --setup because there is no such parameter accepted by bbb. When i installed all the bbb-*** -configure were succesful.

i've just executed bbb-conf --setip 193.144.34.115 and still the same error. At least starting each service manually y could see the logs (catalina.out and error.log (nginx).

Another funny thing is that if i reboot the VM some services start correctly (i believe is the order of starting). I'm going to test each service to see how it behaves. If i cannot complete the installation i'm afraid i will have to start from scratch.

Thanks in advance, Diego

The only reason that I can come up with for why Freeswitch can't bind to 8021 is because another application is already using the port. Did you start with a fresh Ubuntu installation? Could you paste the output of "sudo netstat -npl | grep 8021"

Hi Chad, first of all, thanks for your help!

Yday i was able to start some services, including freeswitch. Now is up and listening on 8021. I had to change the config file /opt/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml and substitute all the 127.0.0.1 hits for the external ip. Then bbb-conf told me that the hosts in /opt/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml did not match with the ones at /usr/share/red5/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton.properties so i changed the hostname in both files.
 
root@seminar:~# sudo netstat -npl | grep 8021
tcp        
0      0 193.144.34.115:8021     0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4504/freeswitch


But still the problem is there, the services still do not start. If i execute bbb-conf --clean the output:

root@seminar:~# bbb-conf --clean

I followed the part of the instalation tutorial (Audio not working) and changed some lines. I going to fall back to the original files to see what happens.

Thanks in advance!

i narrowed it to an error in tomcat, possibly related with redis-server

At first i saw that the redis-server was not starting due to the fact that in the new version 2.8 the paremeter bind 127.0.0.1 in the config file did not work. So i deleted the parameter and redis-server started correctly but i get the same error:

Anyone with ideas?. Thanks in advance! Diego

Hi Diego,

It looks like you are running into resource contention or security settings.  

A couple of questions

1.  Are you installing BigBlueButton 0.9.0-beta on a clean Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit server?

2. Do you have a firewall running on the server?  If so, disable it to see if you can get all the processes running.

3.  Are there any other applications installed that could be using ports.  (It doesn't seem likely, but checking nonetheless)


4.  Is this a virtual or dedicated server?  If virtual, is there anything special you need to do to open ports?


Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

I'm going to start over and install a fresh ubuntu in a new VM. I'll get back to you all if the procedure is succesful.

Best regards, Diego

Hi all,

Sadly we followed the procedure in a fresh new ubuntu 14.04 VM with no firewall and the same errors occur. Probably we're going to get back to the 0.81 version. It's a pity. 

Thanks for all your support!

What VM environment are you using?

I just tried an install on a clean VM and it worked fine.

Hi Fred,

I'm starting to think that this has something to do with the hostname. Does your VM have a domain name? or only and ip address?. The only thing i've done is to edit the hostname and etc/hosts with the ip and domain name like 193.144.34.115 seminar.cesga.es

Tomorrow i will try to install from scratch again with no domain name configuration and i'll see.

Thanks!

Hi Diego,

It should work either way.  On the install, BigBlueButton will configure itself to use the IP address of the host.  

However, if you change the IP address, or you want to use the hostname, you'll want to modify the BigBlueButton configuration using

  sudo bbb-conf --setip IP_or_hostname

If your server has two (or more IPs), you'll need to do some hand editing of files.  See

Regards,... Fred

Hi all,

Finally we're able to install correctly bbb. The problem was that we were using a VM template from the OpenNebula Marketplace, that had some problems with the contextualization of the interfaces, so it messed up lo and eth0. We were able to see this installing bbb in a laptop. 

So summing up, when installing bbb just check that your interfaces are up and runnig properly.

Anyway thanks for the support and regards!, Diego

Thanks for sharing this Diego.  Many times, when we help others in the forum,  we don't hear back when they get BigBlueButton working.

I'm sure your post will save others time and effort.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Diego,

We'll leave this one in the mailing list -- it's an edge case and very reachable by a quick Google Search.  

Thanks again for sharing it with the community.
