BBB-Demo URL

[Tyler G]

How do I change the demo URL to something else? (http://yourdomain.com/demo/ --> http://yourdomain.com/app, etc.) I'm using the current version.

Thanks,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,

You can change the hostname of the BigBlueButton server using, such as to bbb.mydomainname.com

  sudo bbb-conf --setip bbb.mydomainname.com

The /demo application are the built-in BigBlueButton API demos (written in .jsp and running in tomcat6).  They are located at

  /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo

If you create you own front-end, such as

  /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/app

You need to tell nginx how to route incoming request to to '/app'.  To do this, copy 

  /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/demo.nginx

to

  /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/app.nginx

(You can call it whatever you want, just ensure it ends in .nginx), and change the path to point to app.  As in

         # Forward request to /demo to tomcat.  This is for

         # the BigBlueButton api demos.

       location /app {

           proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8080;

           proxy_redirect     default;

           proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For   $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        # Allow 30M uploaded presentation document.

           client_max_body_size       30m;

           client_body_buffer_size    128k;

           proxy_connect_timeout      90;

           proxy_send_timeout         90;

           proxy_read_timeout         90;

           proxy_buffer_size          4k;

           proxy_buffers              4 32k;

           proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;

           proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

           include    fastcgi_params;

       }

Then restart nginx.  

  sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

and try opening

  http://bbb.mydomainname.com/app

Regards,... Fred
