The CentOS installation scripts for BigBlueButton need to be updated.   We have no release
date yet, but it will be sometime after 0.71 ships.

Hi If you can let me know what the relevant files are then I can get people onto it,
Centos support is important and though sticking to 10.04 Ubuntu is nice, its not common
in the enterprise for servers yet and has very little support with commercial VPS supplier
that are mainly still 9.04 that also it seems to have installation issues.

Just a quick update ... we're deep into working on 0.71 and don't have any bandwidth
at the moment to work on the RPM packaging. 

We'll be revisiting updating the RPM packaging once we release 0.71.

Many thanks to bbb team for their great work. Just wanted to mention that I am only
waiting for CentOs issue to be fixed in order to start to my project with bbb. I agree
Ubuntu 10.04 is not very widely used in servers. 

Best Regards

Hi mudalmis,

Unfortunately we have no immediate plans to start supporting rpm packages again. There
is no timeline to fix this issue. I just wanted to let you know, so you are not stuck
waiting on this. If you need absolutely need to use centOS instead of ubuntu, you will
have to install it from source.

Hi Denis, 
I really need a bbb install in my server. But I can't find any guide talk about how
can install bbb in CentOS 5.5 64bit. I tried hard to install followed by all instruction
in this web but it didn't work. I know all of you are very busy but hope you will support
new solution for CentOS 5.5 64bit as soon as possible! Thank you very much.

Regards, 
- Tin Nguyen.

Hi Tin,

Unfortunately as stated above, CentOS support isn't happening any time soon. If you
really need a bbb server set up, you'll have to find a Ubuntu server, or solve the
problems you are having with installing in on your CentOS server manually.
