The BigBlueDashboard (BBD) is a PHP based front-end for BigBlueButton (http://www.bigbluebutton.org/)

After BigBlueButton is installed you'll need to add these

apt-get install php5-cgi php5-curl php5-dev php-pear
pecl install redis

Append this to your existing /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bigbluebutton.conf. @APP_ROOT@ should be replaced with your actual installation directory.

include @APP_ROOT@/etc/nginx.conf;

Your nginx configuration may also have a 500 error handler. If that is enabled it can hide errors in BBD, comment this handler out while installing.

Now copy the etc/boot.ini.example to etc/boot.ini and edit as necessary.

By default we pass to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 using PHP version 5.3.2 If you are having troubles with the Nginx/FPM the answer may be found in these.
