Hi Sourabh,

How are you creating your meeting? What application you're using?

I guess this is happening because you are trying to join a meeting that is not created yet.

You always have to call a "create" before joining the meeting to make sure it exists. Most of the application do this, but if you are using the API Buddy/Mate, you have to do it yourself.

You can read more about how the API works at http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/API

Hi,

I've never seen the API fail with "invalidMeetingIdentifier" right after a *successful* create.

But if you create a meeting and wait a few minutes to join it, it can fail. Meetings without attendees are discarded after a while (there's a parameter "defaultMeetingExpireDuration", see https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/bigbluebutton-dev/defaultMeetingExpireDuration)

The response for your "create" with the code "duplicateWarning" is ok. It means that the meeting already exists, and it's not really an error.

I'm not sure what is this "PHP API", but if you mean the demo page that comes with BigBlueButton, then again, I've never seen it fail in a server that is ok.

The easiest way to test it is with the API Buddy/Mate (http://www.omarshammas.com/bbbapibuddy, http://mconf.org/m/tools/api-mate). Configure it and then click in the "create" call and, right after, in the "join". It should *always* work if your server is ok.
