After Launch this instance, facing "Invalid Host Error" in the root url
Getting Error in the root URL. I am unable to access blackboard. Please let me know what I need to do to fix this issue.
{
"code": "400",
"message": "Invalid Host error"
}
Got it to work
I was able to get this to work by precisely following the Usage Instructions on the Marketplace page (ignoring the first step that links out to a 404 webpage) and using Firefox as my selected browser from my Mac. It would be nice to have an idea of how outdated this version of Blackboard is, since it seems a bit old.
Blackboard SSL configuration using Lets Encrypt failed - poor instructions and documentation
When you launch this on AWS the Blackboard SSL configuration does not work out of the box. There are number of other steps mentioned that have to be completed in this article
https://docs.blackboard.com/dvba/developer-ami
The instructions and documentation are unclear or incomplete and the support offered poor and very few responds on the community site. You spend more time trying to fix this as opposed to actual development.
Avoid and try something else
Crashes
The app throws bad gateway notices at least twice a week. There is no support for the app. There is no error reporting for the app.
application won't start
the box deploys, i get to the point to accept the self-signed cert, and then the page just spins.
the application never loads.
Bad Experience
I just launched this LMS in EC2 and I tried to use DNS to launch the application. But nothing is coming , Page is spinning continuously and timed out.
setup with a smile
In 10 minutes I was able to setup a Blackboard Learn instance. In the past this would take hours of OS installation, Oracle install, then getting all the pieces in the right places. This services makes developing apps for Blackboard Learn a breeze.
Great service.
