How to change domain name in BBB and greenlight working with actual database #1794

Closed mave-git closed 4 years ago

mave-git commented 4 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to change on a BBB-instance the domain.tld to new-domain.tld. "bbb-conf --setip new-domain.tld" takes this, but this makes no chances to greenlight-v2. Calling the domain ends with nginx: not found. Running complete ./bbb-install ... with new-domain.tld works and greenlight is built new but also with a new (?) database, a whole reset. Copying old greenlight-diectory, editing .env with new-domain.tld, checking secret and secret key, nothing. I always running in "nginx: not found or "Welcome to nginx!"" or get a fully new greenlight ... Can anybody gives advice or help to manage this? Target again: changing existing domain on an existing BBB-instance, including greenlight-v2 (users, rooms existing). Thanks!

Using bbb-conf --setip new-domain.tld should work. Can you try restarting Greenlight after making the change? docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d

Thanks! Meanwhile I got it. After bbb-conf --restart docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d run without error ... and the greenlight-page was "resetted". I read about permission in this thread and did the following:

sudo chmod -R 777 production
copy existing ~/greenlight dir to a save place (or rename)
./bbb-install (= >> same command as in the beginning!)
copy the old /greenlight/db into the new one
sudo chmod -R 700 production
sudo chown -R red5:root production (in standard installation on 'root')
cd ~/greenlight
sudo docker-compose down
sudo docker-compose up -d

And: System was back on the domain.tld But: 'bbb-conf --restart' didn't take the (whole) job, only generated a new db - on my system, don't know, if there is any not seen other trouble inside the installation ...

Simply restarting Greenlight won't be enough, it is also necessary to adjust BIGBLUEBUTTON_ENDPOINT and SAFE_HOSTS in greenlight/.env before using 'docker-compose up -d' (and afterwards you'll have to restart bbb by using bbb-conf --restart).

After this - I think this issue has to be closed.
