catalina.out:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

[wang...@smarteredu.org]

Hi There,

I run into a problem when trying to setup BBB on our AWS server as below:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-15-60:~$ sudo bbb-conf --start

Waiting for FreeSWITCH to start:

Starting nginx: nginx.

 * Starting Red5 Server red5                 [ OK ]

 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat7    [ OK ]

 * Starting daemon monitor monic             [ OK ]

Note: monit will automatically start bbb-record-core and LibreOffice within 60 seconds.

Waiting for BigBlueButton to finish starting up (this may take a minute): Startup unsuccessful: could not connect to http://172.31.15.60/bigbluebutton/api

then I run check to see what's wrong:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-15-60:~$ sudo bbb-conf --debug
 -- Exceptions found in /var/lib/tomcat7/logs/ --

 /var/lib/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

/var/lib/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

/var/lib/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

/var/lib/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

then I opened this catalina.out and saw this:

vim /var/lib/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal pattern character 'X'

       at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.compile(SimpleDateFormat.java:769)

       at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.<init>(SimpleDateFormat.java:476)

       at org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternParser.finalizeConverter(PatternParser.java:265)

Any help/suggestions are appreciated in advance!

Thanks,

Kidd

Recheck you ec2 security group, make sure the correct ports are all open.

What does sudo bbb-conf --check return.
