You need to provide us more information:

   1) What version of BigBlueButton did you install?
   2) What OS did you install it on
   3) What's the output of

      sudo bbb-conf --check

I'm not sure what version it was when i installed it because i updated it.  It 
is installed on Ubuntu 2.30.2.

Hi there,

I don't think your running the latest release.  In fact, I think your running 
BigBlueButton 0.64 on Ubuntu 9.04.

Would it be possible to install BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit or 64-bit, 
then let us know if you still have problems.

Regards,... fred

Well the only reason that I haven't reinstalled it is because i couldn't 
remember how to set it up so that I can access it externally.  I have the ports 
forwarded and all but I couldn't remember how i configured it.

Hi there,

Once this happened to me. But in my case, I use the VMWare image. I'm not sure 
what was the cause, I think that it was because I didn't suspend the VM very 
well... A simple solution is start manually the activemq service, running: 

sudo /etc/init.d/activemq start

but (in my case) for a strange reason it stopped again... 

The solution was rebooting the VM and this error didn't appear anymore. I don't 
think so that it's a bug related to bbb, it could be something that broke the 
activemq service like my case... 

Could you try one of these solutions? and before do that could you also check 
the activemq log? I think it's located in /usr/share/activemq/data/activemq.log 
and see if there is an error?

Also, I agree with Fred, if you are running an old bigbluebutton installation, 
you should try to update to the latest...

Now i remember.  I downloaded the pre made BBB VM...  If that helps...

Active mq service says [fail].   I have already tried rebooting the VM.  I'm 
trying to get the activemq log now.  I'm also trying to update ubuntu to see if 
it helps.

There may be a race condition on reboot.  To make sure everything is running 
properly, you can do

  sudo bbb-conf --clean
  sudo bbb-conf --check

Regards,... Fred

I tried that.  It didn't work.  If i have to re install on a new version of 
ubuntu what is the way to save my config files and the setup of my rooms?

How did you setup your rooms?  Did you create .jsp pages or use the API.  If 
you used the API, then there are no rooms saved in BigBlueButton (there is no 
rooms database in mysql).  

Using the API, the rooms are created as needed in memory.

At most, you should need only copy over the salt (if you are using the API), 
and re-assign the IP address using

   sudo bbb-conf --setip

I used the JSPs.  I cant remember where they were stored but i did replaced the 
VM on my vsphere server with the newer one on the site.  It is up and working.

Solve by upgrading to latest release.

I had a similar problem (activemq failed to start for unspecified reason) and 
it was because the hostname was unset on the server. running the "hostname" 
command to set the hostname to the server's IP address appeared to work.
