Installing Bigbluebutton with nginx already installed

[Sooraj]

Hi everybody,

I already have nginx installed in my server and i would like to
install BBB to the same server (preferably v0.8). I am afraid
installing it with apt-get may overwrite my existing nginx
installation. Will i be able to do this with a manual install ?

Hi Sooraj,

How did you install nginx ... source or packages? Have you modified
your nginx setup?

If you install from packages and didn't make any modifications to the
setup, you should be able to install BigBlueButton (preferably 0.8-
beta) on you server. BigBlueButton itself doesn't install nginx;
rather, it just lists it as a dependency.

Once nginx installs, the setup scripts will create a

/etc/nginx/sites-available/bigbluebutton

file and a link from

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bigbluebutton -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/
bigbluebutton

It will also modify the

/etc/nginx/mime.types

and add the following additional mime types for playback of content.

#
# Added for BigBlueButton 0.8
#
video/ogg ogv;
audio/ogg oga ogg;
application/ogg ogx;


If you've installed nginx from source and made custom modifications,
then recommend not installing BigBlueButton as the installation of the
ubuntu nginx package will overwrite some of your settings.

Regards,... Fred
