Hi Peter-Otto.
The command:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat3 start
Is another way to start openmeetings but then all we said simply won't
works.
You should forget about the tomcat3 file and start openmeetings with
that command. You must edit the file openmeetings.service, place it in
/etc/systemd/system/openmeetings.service and start openmeetings with the
command
sudo systemctl start openmeetings.service
Regards.

Hello Juan and Maxim,
i tested doing this:
created backup oft he two files
added AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to openmeetings.service
changed 5443 to 443 in server.xml
(There’s another line with port 5443 – shouldn’t this be changed
also?????)
rebooted the server
than login
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat3 start
waiting about 1 minute
No access to openmeetings on 443 or 5443?
Used sudo netstat -plnt to see if port 443 is in use – could not find it.
Than copying back the changed files, reboot, start services and
everything is back on port 5443.
Using netstat -plnt i can only see java but on tcp6 localhost :::5443
i can not see on what port openmeetings is listening???
Your last hints regarding openmeetings.service did not hit my brain at
the right position – i do not understand???
Best wishes

Hi again.
I forgot to warn that you must use the file openmeetings.service
to manage openmeetings for this to work. That is, you have copied
the file openmeetings.service to /etc/systemd /system and you
start, stop, restart openmeetings with:
sudo systemctl start openmeetings
sudo systemctl stop openmeetings
sudo systemctl restart openmeetings
Regards.

Hi all.
As Maxim has already said, on *nix systems the use of ports
below 1024 is restricted to the root user. So, you have two
options, one is to run openmeetings as root user and then you
can configure to use port 443 or run openmeetings as another
user (openmeetings, nobody, etc.) and use a port above 1024
(usually 8443). Well, this It is not the whole truth, you can
really use a user other than root and configure openmeetings
to run on port 443. There are several ways to achieve this and
you can see some of them in
https://superuser.com/questions/710253/allow-non-root-process-to-bind-to-port-80-and-443
I tell you how I get it. I use the file openmeetings.service
that comes with the openmeetings distribution with some minor
modifications. You can see that lines 23-24 contain the following:
[Service]
Type=forking
Okay, add one more line just below so it looks like this
[Service]
Type=forking
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
Then edit server.xml file and change
<Connector port="5443"
to
<Connector port="443"
Restart openmeetings and visit
https://yourdomain.com/openmeetings
<https://yourdomain.com/openmeetings>
Regards.

Hello Maxim,
sometimes your answers are a bit „cryptic“ for dummies
like me 😊
What do you mean with „privileged on *nix“. What can
happen if i use a „privileged“ web Port?
Special privileges are required to use ports <=1024 on
*nix systems (MacOS, Ubuntu, Fedora etc.)
To do it secure way you need to create special user and
grant it with special permission
Or use front-end proxy
I find 5443 one time in config. So i just change this
to 443 and reboot?

https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-server/src/main/assembly/conf/server.xml#L73
and restart OM
Best wishes for having long nights with growing up
daughter…

Peter,
good question. I mean not if Maxim is sleeping ever…
Yes, I think it’s an important hint to use a
standard port.
In business environments it´s a problem with
special ports.
Maxim, where we have to configure this?
it depends on your configuration
for Tomcat stand-alone config
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-server/src/main/assembly/conf/server.xml
Please NOTE port 443 is privileged on *nix systems ....

I just got in first contact with „bigbluebutton“.
It seems to be very similar to openmeetings
but – as i suggested before – has a better
implementation of video arrangement.
All videos automatically were arranged above
the whitboard – i like it.
What i wonder is ,why open meetings needs to
use specific https port and bigbluebutton does
not?
port 8443 is used for demo-next because version
4.0.x using 443 ATM
port 5443 is used for out-of-box version to avoid
conflicts with running HTTP server
you free to set up OM on port 443
The main problem is with customers having a
firewall allowing only 80/443. We had
scheduled a meeting with customers that had to
be canceled due to networking / firewall problems.
Using 80/443 like on bigbluebutton would make
everything much easier? Is this possible?
