Those error messages show that your server can't contact itself:
# Error: Could not connect to the configured hostname/IP address### If your BigBlueButton server is behind a firewall, see FAQ.
And the other lines similar to the following indicate that maybe the server's IP has changed since it was installed:
# IP does not match:# IP from ifconfig: 192.168.10.150# /etc/nginx/sites-available/bigbluebutton: 192.168.10.160
Both of those error together look like your server or VM was shutdown and when it restarted it received a different IP address from your DHCP server.
You should either set a static IP or run "bbb-conf --setip <new IP>" to switch all of the configuration files to your new IP.
As for your node and angular question the answer really depends on what you are wanting to actually make. If you want to make a front-end application that will manage meetings you can use our API (http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html). If you are looking to create a separate client you should look into how our in-development Meteor client connects to Redis and subscribes to messages and implement that functionality.

I have found https://github.com/mconf/bigbluebutton-api-js this library by which we can access bbb api (is it useful?).
I just want to know how i integrate bbb in my node web application so that i can use all the components including user interface?
thanks in advance.

Hi Arpit,
Do you have two IP addresses (internal and external) on your BigBlueButton server?
# Warning: The setting of 192.168.10.135 for bbb.sip.app.ip in
#
# /usr/share/red5/webapps/sip/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton-sip.properties
#
# does not match the local IP address (192.168.0.164).
# (This is OK if you've manually changed the values to an external
# FreeSWITCH server.)
If so, see
If you have only one IP address, in this case 192.168.0.164, do
sudo bbb-conf --setip 192.168.0.164
and then try
sudo bbb-conf --check
and see if it gives more warnings about IP mismatch.
Regards,... Fred

Hi Arpit,
The BigBlueButton client is Flash-based. See
You can integrate BigBlueButton into any front-end application using the API. See
You may find the mconf library is sufficient, but if you go through the above API docs, you'll see the format of the request for each API call and can use that format as the basis for your integration.
To interactively test API calls (and validate that your implementation is generating correct API calls), definitely checkout the excellent API Mate tool from Mconf, see
