Hi Mark,
 

# Warning: The directory

#

#    /home/firstuser/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client

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

 Did you clone the repository to the above location or did you put it somewhere else? If you put the repo somewhere else you will need to edit the nginx file to point to the correct directory. I'm not sure if a missing directory will cause nginx to fail to start up or not, but it's a good place to start looking.

sorry for bothering ,

my problem was that when i setup nginx to redirect calls to the client towards my development version,  

i copied and pasted the all code to the client_dev instead using it as the command line.

so now i can restart nginx - $ sudo service nginx restart

* Restarting nginx nginx       [ OK ]

But without any comment as the guide shown : 

" "Restarting nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok

configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

nginx."

ant locals & ant for building the client - BUILD SUCCESSFUL

and when trying log to the demo i see the BBB app download and then stacking at the next page where " connecting to the server "

​

So i don't know where i'm wrong.

Thank you

Check "~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/src/conf/config.xml" and make sure that the IP addresses match the IP that "bbb-conf --salt" reports. If they are different update your config.xml and run "ant" again and restart tomcat7.

Thank you Sir for your help...

seems that every thing is in place...

attached my "~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-client/src/conf/config.xml" - 

URL: http://My_IP_address/bigbluebutton/

      Salt: xxxxxx3d00f5c3ab1e36yyyy

$ ant  - clean-build-all:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

sudo service tomcat7 restart

but getting the same result

Thank you

A couple of other things to check.

Could you change "showLogButton=false" to "showLogButton=true", run ant again, restart tomcat7. Then load up the client again and you should see a new button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen next to the language drop down. Wait for a bit and click that button and a new window will pop up. Could copy the contents and paste it here. It might give a clue as to where the process is getting stuck.

Could you also switch back to the packaged client and verify that you can connect successfully. If the client loads then we know that everything else is working. Running the following command will change you back to the packaged client:

sudo ln -f -s /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client.nginx
sudo service nginx restart

I started with your second suggestion...

sudo ln -f -s /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client.nginx

sudo bbb-conf --clean

and there is no problem loging.

but when switched back to developer... 

sudo ln -f -s /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client_dev /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/client.nginx
change the config.xml to - <layout showLogButton="true"
$ ant
sudo bbb-conf --clean
getting the same result - can not log to bbb
and there is no new button 

​
Thank you Sir for your patience

Hi Mark,

Can you confirm the config.xml file in your development environment has the same IP addresses as the default file in

  /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/conf/config.xml

Regards,... Fred
