Renaming /openmeetings context

If you want to have http://yourcorp.com:5080/yourmeetings instead of http://yourcorp.com:5080/openmeetings you need to do the following

  1. stop openmmetings if it is running
  2. go to openmeetings install dir (for ex. /opt/red5 )
  3. rename /opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings to /opt/red5/webapps/yourmeetings (for ex. mv /opt/red5/webapps/openmeetings /opt/red5/webapps/yourmeetings )
  4. open /opt/red5/webapps/yourmeetings/config.xml using your favorite text editor (for ex. vim /opt/red5/webapps/yourmeetings/config.xml )
  5. find and modify <webAppRootKey>openmeetings</webAppRootKey> to be <webAppRootKey> yourmeetings </webAppRootKey>
  6. find and modify <httpRootKey>/openmeetings/</httpRootKey> to be <httpRootKey> /yourmeetings/ </httpRootKey>

Changing hard-coded application name in string labels

To have Your Application Name instead of Openmeetings in all text labels you need to do the following

  1. ensure $APP_NAME placeholder is used in all strings you have added and/or modified (all strings bundled into Openmeetings already have this placeholder)
  2. login to Openmeetings as user with administrator privileges
  3. go to Administration -> Configuration
  4. find and edit configuration with name application.name
  5. Set its value to be Your Application Name
  6. Save
