Changing the /client/BigBlueButton.html portion of the URL

[Behzad Rezaie]

Hi pals!

I decided to change the  /client/BigBlueButton.html portion of the URL as it is mentioned in 

         http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_/client/_BigBlueButton_.html_portion_of_the

I found a little bit of difference between the files. For example, in the tutorial, it is said to comment out the 

         

          # BigBlueButton.html is here so we can expire it every 1 minute to

        # prevent caching.
        #location /client/BigBlueButton.html {
        #        root    /var/www/bigbluebutton;
        #        index  index.html index.htm;
        #        expires 1m;
        #}

while I found the following code in the VM file of mine:

          # BigBlueButton.html landing page.

        #location / {
        #        root    /var/www/bigbluebutton-default;
        #        index  index.html index.htm;
        #        expires 1m;
        #}

Then I created a file (rewrite.nginx) according to the tutorial (in the /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/ directory), with the following code

          location /client/BigBlueButton.html {

        rewrite ^ /conference permanent;
}

location /conference {
        alias  /var/www/bigbluebutton/client;
        index BigBlueButton.html;
        expires 1m;
}

and I received the 

403 Forbidden

---

nginx/0.7.65error. Then I changed the file to 
          location / {

        rewrite ^ /conference permanent;
}

location /conference {
        alias  /var/www/bigbluebutton/client;
        index BigBlueButton.html;
        expires 1m;
}

and again faced the same error.
Could you help me with the error?
Thanks in advance!

Behzad, i think the FAQ docs are a little out of date... Step 1
changed at .8 final some things were moved to client.nginx in /etc/
bigbluebutton, thats were they need to be commented out.... dont mess
with any settings in main nginx conf file.

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart <--- watch this and it will tell you
if there are errors.

Dear Stephen,

Could you describe what I should do in more details?

Your description is just brief. I mean which files should I change in /etc/bigbluebutton? there are a number of files and folders in the mentioned directory. And also, which parts am I supposed to comment out?

you comment out the same stuff that is in faq, but it resides in
client.nginx now and not the main bigbluebutton nginx conf... Also
you add the rewrite.nginx
then restart and look for errors.
