ok in local, fail outside

[Andres md]

Hi, i'm running bbb in my local network
It's work ok

I need to use outside my lan.

i do:
bbb-conf --setip 190.220.nnn.nnn (that's my fixed ip)

in my router i open port 8090 and redirect to my local ip (10.10.42.nnn:80)
I'm in a big lan and i can't use port 80

My /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bigbluebutton says

erver {
listen 80;
server_name 190.220.nnn.nnnn;

....
....

Then i try to connect from outside:
http://190.220.nnn.nnn:8090
and open a bbb home page with the "join" button

I try to join and error appear (i attach it)
Same error in local (?)

My /etc/hosts says
10.10.42.nnn 190.220.nnn.nnn

I use debian squeeze 6.0 (updated from lenny last week)

Any ideas ?

Hi Andres,

Can you try this:

1. Use dyndns.org to define an external_hostname for your router's IP.
2. Do

sudo bbb-conf --setip external_hostname

3. Enter into your /etc/hosts

190.220.nnn.nnn external_hostname

4. Do

sudo bbb-conf --clean

5. Try

http://external_hostname/

and let us know if it works. This is the general outline at

http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#Can_I_provide_external_access_to_a_BigBlueButton_server_behind_m

and has worked for others. The key is to use a hostname, not an IP
address, to have BigBlueButton listen for incoming requests.

Regards,... Fred
