Apache Open meetings run locally for development

Question

I am aiming to use Open meetings in my project. Before doing that, I was starting with some UI colour changes and check the system on my local machine. For doing this, I cloned the Git repository https://github.com/apache/openmeetings .

After this, executed the command: mvn clean install -PallModules *Working with Java version 11 and mvn version 3.6.3

After the execution, build generates successfully:

After this, as mentioned in git, I followed following steps:

• go to openmeetings-server/target directory
• extract apache-openmeetings-xxxtar.gz (or apache-openmeetings-xxxzip for windows) to new directory
• enter to this new directory and execute./bin/startup.sh (./bin/startup.bat for Windows)

Results says, Tomcat started. Also with command netstat -lntp , I can see port 5080 is occupied by a java jar.

But, the problem is when i open http://localhost:5080 , it successfully redirects me to http://localhost:5080/openmeetings/ but shows site can't be reached.

This is very weird, please help!

Answer 1

Build instructions and helpful commands are here

https://openmeetings.apache.org/BuildInstructions.html

I would recommend to use unpacked build

OM at http://localhost:5080/openmeetings works for me as expected

(I would recommend to use it at https://localhost:5443/openmeetings overwise Camera&Microphone will be blocked by browser)

Is it possible your request is being blocked by FW?
