Switch http to https and missing configuration file

[Lukasz Sadowski]

Hi,

At start I would like to say that I am very impressed how the video conference scripts are working. It is really great work.

After installation of bbb and greenlight 2.0 i switched ip to normal domain video.codingplatform.pl and everything was ok.

Unfortunatelly there Was some problem with chrom microphone and camera access due to lack of https.

I added https to the server, moved along with the documentation, and step by step changed settings in the intallation

Now the problem is that when i access the video.codingplatform.pl/b/ and I try to join or create room it just returns an information that 

Error: We could not find a config for this request.

I can access the configuration file by the browser.

What can be the reason?

If You could point me to happy ending it would be great.

Kind Regards

Łukasz

It looks like you're using a self-signed certificate and tomcat is rejecting the certificate and then erroring out. You should be using a certificate from a trusted authority (we recommend Let's Encrypt because it's free).

Hi Łukasz,

You could also try using bbb-install.sh to setup BigBlueButton 2.0 + HTML5 + SSH + GreenLight v2, see

Chad,

What about situations where folks need to run a local dev version (with a self signed certificate) for local development / integration testing?

If there's no public IP (local VM) I take a valid certificate from a public server I control and apply it manually to my local server and then set my hosts file on my host OS and server to fix the DNS resolution. You can also try adding the self-signed certificate to the server's Java Keystore and I believe tomcat will accept the certificate then.

I am trying this version now. Thanks for quick reply.

Thanks for Your support. Everything works great now!.

Is  it possible to allow more than one user to share desktop?

Hi Lukasz,

> Is  it possible to allow more than one user to share desktop?

Technically it's possible ... what is the use case you are trying to implement?

The idea is that at start one person is sharing destkop to kids showing them some stuff from scratch. Then they are supposed to do some task, and because its remote teaching the teacher should have posibillity to view what current user is doing to help him solve potential problems, and to just check if he is envolved witht he tasks.

In addition to Chad's suggestion, you can use Let's Encrypt on a
private server by using the "DNS" validation method. You need to use a
domain name that you own for this to work, but the server doesn't need
to be available on the public internet.

Run certbot on your private bbb with a command like

certbot --manual certonly -d bbb.example.com --preferred-challenges dns

and it'll give you a series of prompts to follow.
