Welcome to nginx screen on bigbluebutton server?

[StratMaster43]

I am using virtualbox to run the bigbluebutton install packages with
ubuntu. I changed the ip to reflect my local ip and forwarded ports
1935, 80, and 9123. The prompt returns no problems when I type sudo
bbb-conf --check. Yet when I visit the local url that should be the
bigbluebutton server, all I get is a screen that says "Welcome to
nginx" Does anyone have any assistance on the matter or is there any
way to change which port bigbluebutton operates on? I checked all of
the Google groups posts on the issue as well as the bigbluebutton
setup archives, but none were useful. Note that I already have a web
server running on port 80. Is there any way to run a web server AND a
bigbluebutton server at the same time?

The prompt returns no problems when I type sudo

bbb-conf --check. ---> What does the output look like?

 

Yet when I visit the local url that should be the
bigbluebutton server, all I get is a screen that says "Welcome to

nginx" ---> what ip did you use here?

BigBlueButton uses nginx as a proxy server, which listens on port 80,
and routes incoming request for calls to port 80 to local processes
for bbb-web (port 8080), desktop sharing (9123), and red5.

We recommend you run you web application on one server and
BigBlueButton on a second server; otherwise, the configurations and
need to process incoming request on port 80 will conflict with each
other. Two web servers can't both listen to the same port.

To see if BigBlueButton will still run, can you try stopping your
current web server (thus freeing port 80), then do

sudo bbb-conf --clean
sudo bbb-conf --check

and, if there are no messages after "** Potential Problems**", try
accessing the BigBlueButton server through the browser. You should
see the landing page.

Technically, of course, it is possible to run everything on one
server, but you really have to understand how nginx is routing all the
incoming requests. You web application probably uses PHP, so you
would need to install PHP to run within nginx. Or port over all the
routing logic to your existing web server.

Big effort, and all unnecessary if you setup BigBlueButton on its own
server.

had the same problem some time ago. i did not have my computer
connected to internet when i was doing the installation. i just
reinstalled now with the computer connected to internet. all the
necessary packages were installed now and i can use it.

Unfortunately, at the moment ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org is off-line due
to a networking problem, see

http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-setup/browse_thread/thread/54f3cb462f8ccc2f#

We'll post when then repository is up again.
