Thanks Borzd – I guess I just don’t know enough on how to implement them

YES – It works the meeting is visible – just need to wait a little bit.

and

Yes meetings will Stack that is if you choose the same meeting title with the record option turned on you will see another entry in the list of recorded meetings – Since users can’t create their own meetings it be nice to be able to supply a Meeting Subject so you can distinguish one recored meeting from another but that might be a BBB thing

I used the token [bigbluebutton token=#######] I don’t see the meetings yet – The meeting was short – just a test but I’ll wait a bit and see what happens.

I wonder if I have another meeting with the record option will it then show both recordings or just the last (latest) one.

OK Still having issues – lets start all over from scratch

I’ll open a new post if I run into trouble

OK I figured it out

The WordPress Ubuntu Install instructions were for a virtual server. I was installing local so while doing the installation WP was installed to to the user’s home directory. The instructions did issue the following command sudo rsync -avP ~/wordpress/ /var/www/ but the worppress directry didn’t seem to make it to /var/www – Not sure why or may be I had remnants from a previous install attempt

I deleted everything WordPress including the MySQL db. CDed to /var/www wget the latest of WP and proceeded to do the install skipping the RSYNC instruction

I think all is well now when I view y site it actually works. In my config I have to http/server ip/wordpress I suppose if I want to change the site name I can alias it in apache

My only question now is – Is ths the correct way to install Word Press and is it OK that all the WordPress directories are in /var/www/wordpress

THANKS for ALL THE HELP

Step One—Download WordPress
We can download WordPress straight from their website:

cd /var/www
sudo wget https://www.ads-software.com/latest.tar.gz

This command will download the zipped wordpress package straight to your user’s home directory. You can unzip it the the next line:
sudo tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

Step Two—Create the WordPress Database and User
After we unzip the wordpress files, they will be in a directory called wordpress in the home directory.

Now we need to switch gears for a moment and create a new MySQL directory for wordpress.

Go ahead and log into the MySQL Shell:
mysql -u root -p

Login using your MySQL root password, and then we need to create a wordpress database, a user in that database, and give that user a new password. Keep in mind that all MySQL commands must end with semi-colon.

First, let’s make the database (I’m calling mine wordpress for simplicity’s sake; feel free to give it whatever name you choose):
CREATE DATABASE {enter WordPress db name here};
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Then we need to create the new user. You can replace the database, name, and password, with whatever you prefer:
CREATE USER {enter WordPress SQL User here}@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Set the password for your new user:
SET PASSWORD FOR {enter WordPress SQL User here}@localhost= PASSWORD(“{enter password}”);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Finish up by granting all privileges to the new user. Without this command, the wordpress installer will not be able to start up:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON {enter WordPress db name here}.* TO {enter WordPress SQL User here}@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘{enter password}’;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Then refresh MySQL:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Exit out of the MySQL shell:
exit
Step Three—Setup the WordPress Configuration
The first step to is to copy the sample wordpress configuration file, located in the wordpress directory, into a new file which we will edit, creating a new usable wordpress config:
sudo cp ./wordpress/wp-config-sample.php ./wordpress/wp-config.php

Then open the wordpress config:
sudo vi ./wordpress/wp-config.php

Find the section that contains the field below and substitute in the correct name for your database, username, and password:
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpressuser’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);
Save and Exit.

Step Four—Copy the Files WE ARE INSTALLING LOCAL NOT A TO VIRTUAL SERVER so skip this
We are almost done uploading WordPress to the virtual private server. The final move that remains is to transfer the unzipped WordPress files to the website’s root directory.
sudo rsync -avP ~/wordpress/ /var/www/

Finally we need to set the permissions on the installation. First, switch in to the web directory:
cd /var/www/

Give ownership of the directory to the apache user.
sudo chown username:www-data /var/www -R
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www -R
sudo chmod g+w /var/www -R

From here, WordPress has its own easy to follow installation form online.

However, the form does require a specific php module to run. If it is not yet installed on your server, download php-gd:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

sudo rm /var/www/latest.tar.gz

cd /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/
sudo vi class-snoopy.php

find the following lines and chage accordingly

var $proxy_host = “172,16.50.1”; // proxy host to use
var $proxy_port = “8080”; // proxy port to use
var $proxy_user = “”; // proxy user to use
var $proxy_pass = “”; // proxy password to use

and

var $_isproxy = true; // set if using a proxy server

Well so much for gettting some assitance

Now what/where do I do/go
