Hi Abdessalem,

The output from `sudo bbb-conf --check` shows

> # Not Running:  tomcat7 or grails

The BigBlueButton API is implemented in the webapps application bbb-web, which runs within tomcat7, which if tomcat7 is not running there is no endpoint for accepting incoming API calls.

Did you get any errors during installation of BigBlueButton?

Regards,.. Fred

Hi Fred Thanks for reply,
when I run this command to test status tomcat :

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 status

the output :
----------------------------------------------
Tomcat servlet engine is running with pid 12436
----------------------------------------------
No I don't have any error when the installation.

 I think the problem from grails framework not tomcat server .
and
when I run : bbb-conf --debug
---------------------------------------------------
-- Errors found in /var/log/nginx/error.log --

Have you made custom changes to the default site for nginx?  

I would recommend installing BigBlueButton on a clean machine and making sure everything works first.  Then, setup the development environment step-by-step and make sure nothing breaks.  If at one step you are unable to make API requests and are not sure of what to do next, post the step your at and we can help

Regards,... Fred

Hi,

No I didn't make any change to the default site for nginx.

Ok Fred . I will remove this installation and i try to install in clean machine.

Thanks.

Hi Fred ,when I install the dev env I have the same problem but I find  the problem is port of tomcat server  :
<Connector port="8888" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />

to solve it, I change to  default port of tomcat:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />

 This time I didn' t have any problem in env dev .
Thanks Fred.

Port 8888 is correct for the bbb-web development environment. When you start up bbb-web you specify a port to use and the command in the documentation uses "8888" which matches the file.

[Abdessalem ben dhia]

yes that for test of running bbb-web by grails command but the  tomcat port where deploy war is 8080 not 8888.
