Newbie Trying Janus...Fails!

[rayj00]

So, I installed all of the dependencies and built the lipopus for Ubuntu 12.04.
I then built janus and all appeared well.
Then I started janus and attempted to browse to one of the html files. Nothing happens in the browser. I try to browse: http://192.168.122.215:8088//home/ray/meetecho/janus-gateway/html/index.html and I get this from janus:

Got a HTTP GET request on /home/ray/meetecho/janus-gateway/html/index.html...
... Just parsing headers for now...

Any ideas?

Hi Ray,

the built-in gateway webserver does not serve any HTML page. It only provides the RESTful interface to control and interact with it. To test the demos, you need to either copy the content of the html folder somewhere in one of your webservers, or deploy one there. A simple way to do so is use python or php, e.g., go to the html folder and then issue a:

 python -m SimpleHTTPServer

which will listen on port 8000, or a:

 php -S 0.0.0.0:8000

which will do the same. Then a simple http://yourlocalip:8000/index.html will open the demos.

Ok I did the python command.  I can get to the dmo page but when I click Start for any demo, I get a pop up that says:
error: Is the gateway down?

Here is the output of ./janus& :
ray@Meetecho:~/meetecho/janus-gateway$ Got a HTTP OPTIONS request on /janus...

Hi Ray,

have you changed the base path in either the command line or the configuration? the demos assume it's going to be /janus, so if you changed that you need to update the "server" variable at the beginning of the javascript code of the examples (e.g., echotest.js).

If not, it may be a problem in how we're checking URLs and paths. Which OS are you using, and which version of glib?

Thanks for the reply.

So I have installed meetecho at: /home/ray/meetecho/janus-gateway

I guess I'm confused on what the server variable should be?
Right now it looks like this:

var server = "http://" +window.location.hostname + ":8088/janus";

I have the html folder copied over to a separate web server.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 for my web server. I am also using Ubuntu 12.04
for the janus-gateway. These are both KVM Virtual machines.

The html works fine but I get the error: is the gateway down message when I click start?

Ideas?

Thanks,

Ray

The server variable needs to be the address of the gateway integrated web server. By default the demos assume your web server (containing the HTML files) and Janus (and its integrated web server) are colocated on the same machine, so that's why the window.location.hostname is used. Besides it assumes Janus is listening on port 8088 which is the default, unless you change it.

If the web server is on a different machine, change that variable to point to the right address, e.g.:

var server = "http://10.0.0.2:8088/janus";

or, if you changed the Janus HTTP port too (e.g., to 9000):

var server = "http://10.0.0.2:9000/janus";

Hope that helps!

PS: the /janus path of course needs to be changed too, if you changed the base path in the configuration file, as discussed a couple of messages ago.

So here's a dumb question... Do the .js files stay on the webserver or the meetecho server?

So earlier you said meetecho does not serve up web pages, yet it has a web server?
More confusion....

A user manual would be awesome!

[meetecho]

All the content of the HTML folder needs to be served by your webserver. There's no need to use Meetecho's servers.

You can find a lot of documentation, including JavaScript and REST APIs, here:

http://janus.conf.meetecho.com/docs/

You can build the same documentation from the code yourself with a make docs, which will build a docs/html folder.
