BBB Config Problem

[Sogetsu Chang]

HI,I’m new to learn to set a bbb server, sorry to my poor english.
My company has an intranet, and not access to internet, also, has a firewall.
I try to build BBB in the intranet, First, I download the BBB VM in my home(internet), boot it to get bbb files (NAT Mode),when it completes download files and installed bbb server, I bring it to the company (intranet), and continued to setup server seting.And, I open the port 80, 9123,1935.
1.change the network mode to bridged, boot vm, login and change password, edit the eth1 to eth0,then reboot. Everything seems fine.
2.I edit the network setting eth0 to static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.254
reboot, and FreeSwitch didn’t start!
I see the bbb welcome script show
“to launch BigBlueButton, open the following URL:
    http://192.168.0.1/
“
I don’t use “bbb-conf --setip”, I don’t know how “http:///” become “http://192.168.0.1/”
3.set the dns,
nameserver DNServer1
nameserver DNserver2
domain localdomain  ← not change
search localdomain  ← not change

set the hosts
add
192.168.0.1 localhost
bbb.mycompany.com localhost
bbb.mycompany.com 192.168.0.1

reboot, Freeswitch still refuse to start
4.
bbb-conf --setip myIP
I can connect to server use IE8 and IE9, but hangs on “connecting to the server, I have upgrade the flash version to the newest but it doesn’t help.And FreeSwitch still refuse to start.
5.
bbb-conf --setip bbb.mycompany.com
it show more error
“IP does not match:
               IP from ifconfig:192.168.0.1
     /etc/nginx/sites-available/bigbluebutton:bbb.mycompany.com
Warning: API URL IPs do not match host:
               IP from ifconfig:192.168.0.1
    /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/bbb_api_conf.jsp:bbb.mycompamy.com
Warning: the value (bbb.mycompany.com) from playback host in
     /usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts/slides.yml
does not match the local IP address (192.168.0.1)
“
I can connect to the server via bbb.mycompany.com and the the welcome pages and demo pages, but still hangs on “connecting to the server” ,and freeswtich refused to start.
I read FAQs and tried to resolve but not help, and anyone figure out which step is wrong

Thanks.

Hi Sogetsu,

Can you try setting the IP address of the VM to 192.168.0.2.  The address of 192.168.0.1 is usually resereved for the gateway.

OK, the IP address now changed to 192.168.0.239(the hosts and BBB-conf --setip changed,too), but FreeSwitch still refused to start :-<

and one thing I forget to say: after bbb-config --setip bbb.mycompany.com, the bbb welcome script shows

"to launch BigBlueButton, open the following URL:

    http://192.168.0.239/

"

why it is not "http://bbb.mycompany.com/"

Hi Sogetsu,

You can ignore the message "to launch BigBlueButton ... " as it's a static message created when the BigBlueButton VM first boots.

Can you output the contents of 

  sudo bbb-conf --clean

  sudo bbb-conf --check

A quick one here,I notice you are running a private IP on the interface. Could you confirm you can ping/open BBB server through the domain name from another system?

Cheers!

It seems no solution LOL

[HostBBB.com]

if i ping bbb.mycompany.com it does not resolve on public
internet... is this the actual subdomain you are trying to use?

regards.

Hello,

Take note you are running a private IP, could you confirm the necessary port forwarding to a public address has been configured?

Hi,

I've posted this issue longtime ago when i've encountered the same case: BBB display Connecting to the server......

and never load modules. As far as i remember, it is caused by client's internet connection. After packet dump, It seems that bbb client's browser need to download something to adobe.com before it can able to load modules.

Just allow a client to connect to Internet and i think that your issue will be solved.

Best regards.
