Nginx not running

[nishant]

Hi
I am trying to install BBB through source in ubuntu 10.10.
I am facing problem in starting Nginx.
When i try to restart it trough terminal then i get the following
error.

Restarting nginx: [emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address
already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: still could not bind()
nginx.

Thanks
Nishant

Hi nishant,

It looks like you already have a process listening to port 80 (is
apache2 installed)? Try stopping apache, then starting nginx again.

Also, is it possible to install BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 10.04? If so,
you can install from packages, it will take you less than 15 minutes,
and it will be *much* easier for you to update as newer versions of
BigBlueButton are released.

Regards,... Fred

I have just had this same issue on the BBB server I set up this
morning. I built it using the recommended documentation for Ubuntu
10.04 server, 64-bit, and all went well until I finished the setup and
ran # sudo bbb-conf --check

I had the exact same error condition as nishant reported. I was
getting pretty frurstrated until I saw Fred's response. Per his
recommendation, I stopped apache2 with # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

I then started nginx with # /etc/init.d/nginx start

The result was the following:

Starting nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is
ok
Configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
nginx

I can now go to the URL of my server and launch a demo meeting with no
problem. Perhaps someone could investigate why this is happening or
maybe this method to resolve the error should be added to the FAQ.

Thanks for all the hard work put into BBB! I am very excited to get
this project implemented in our office.
