[Solved] Invalid BigBlueButton Endpoint and Secret #163

Open lightweight opened 2 years ago

lightweight commented 2 years ago

In case it helps someone, I ran into the persistent "Invalid BigBlueButton Endpoint and Secret" error in a new Docker-based BBB 2.3 installation (DigitalOcean, IPv4 & IPv6, Ubuntu 20.04), with the Greenlight database copied from another 2.2 version, and instated for the 2.3 version. I was able to log in to Greenlight using my previous credentials, and view some of the Organisation-related pages, but all other pages including my user's default page gave that Invalid error.

The solution: augment the default 127.0.1.1 and 127.0.0.1 entries in /etc/hosts with the IPv4 external IP pointing to my hostname, e.g. nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn my.bbb.fqdn and the error went away.

I haven't tried accessing it from an IPv6-based client, so it's possible I'll need to add a similar line with the IPv6 address to /etc/hosts...

Hope that helps someone!

@lightweight In which container to you change the hosts file? I thought that in docker you need to supply hosts when you run a container. Or do you change that on the host machine? Can you describe in more detail?

I make the hosts file change on the Docker host, not one of the containers...

Hm. That cannot be the solution in my case. Now it has moved from showing that error about Endpoint and Secret, to simply showing me:
