Can't create meetings through API

[g soon]

Hi.

All API call works, but I can't create meeting using API.

I use API Mate for test, but I still have a "404 not found" answer from the nginx server.

I just saw that my bbb-conf --check not ending properly...

Here the bbb-conf --check

Hi Soon,

Are you setting BigBlueButton up behind a firewall? if so, see

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#can-i-provide-external-access-to-a-bigbluebutton-server-behind-my-firewall

The key is to access the BigBlueButton server via a hostname (not IP address) after configuring your server and firewall according to the steps at the above URL.

Regards,... Fred

Hi,

Thanks Fred, it solved my 404 error.

But I still can't create meeting. When I try, I get a SUCCESS code but meeting is not running.

Create meeting :

<response>

<returncode>SUCCESS</returncode>

<meetingID>666666</meetingID>

<attendeePW>ap</attendeePW>

<moderatorPW>mp</moderatorPW>

<createTime>1446454764937</createTime>

<createDate>Mon Nov 02 09:59:24 CET 2015</createDate>

<hasUserJoined>false</hasUserJoined>

<duration>1440</duration>

<hasBeenForciblyEnded>false</hasBeenForciblyEnded>

<messageKey/>

<message/>

</response>

isMeetingRunning : 

<response>

<returncode>SUCCESS</returncode>

<running>false</running>

</response>

[g soon]

My bad, the isMeetingRunning API call return true only when a user join the meeting.

Regards.
