hi, i'm try to use bbb in debian squeeze
Sorry about my english

if i go to my ip (10.10.x.x) i see a bbb home page OK but when y write user name
and click "join" goto 4040 error
I think i have a problem whith nginx that uses 80 port (same as tomcat6)

i stop nginx and restart tomcat
then i see the base tomcat server text:

"It works !
If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup
Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!"

then i manually write
http://10.10.42.195/bigbluebutton/demo/demo1.jsp

and work fine (only first part), page says "Demo #1: Join a Course"
and let my join.
when i click the "join" button the new page says

"Estado HTTP 404 - /client/BigBlueButton.html
type Informe de estado
mensaje /client/BigBlueButton.html
descripción El recurso requerido (/client/BigBlueButton.html) no está
disponible.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.28"

i must change ports number in apache ? nginx ? tomcat ?

Thank for any help

saul

Hi Andres,

Only one application can bind to port 80, so you need to determine
whether it will be nginx or apache2.

1) If you choose apache2 to bind to port 80, you need to tell
BigBlueButton to use a different port, such as 8087

sudo bbb-conf --setip your.host.name:8087

2) if you choose nginx to bind to port 80, you need to tell apache2 to
use a different port (Google for the docs on how to do this).

The preference is (2), as giving BigBlueButton port 80 will enable
remote users to connect behind a firewall (tunnel through port 80).

Regards,... Fred
