Topic: No sound on an https installation

[AverageGuy]

I'm running the messenger on a Ubuntu 14.04 system using Virtualmin to configure an apache virtual host.  I first installed on another system which isn't running ssl or at least I installed it on the port 80  side of apache.  It was also a Virtualmin virtual host running Centos.

The first install went fine and all the sounds worked.  I found I couldn't use it from a https site.  Something about serving non secure information over a secure site.  So I reinstalled it from scratch on the secure site.  When I got to the end of the install where it says "test sounds"  nothing happened.  I brought up the Chrome javascript debugger and observed a few errors.  Two of them were 404 errors looking for  .../mibew/install.php/sounds/new_message.mp3 (or .wav, I don't recall ).  I found it a bit odd that the address was not .../mibew/sounds/new_message.mp3, but then I don't know what install.php is doing, so ...

Anyway now that I have it installed and operational it still is silent.  I brought up the JS debugger but it's not showing anything unusual.  I don't see it attempting to access any sound files, but then that may be in a php file somewhere. 

This is not going to work without sound.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim.

Hi Jim,

My install did not perform the test sounds when installing (also on HTTPS) but when testing on the live site it works fine. Have you tested it live on your site?

Yes, it's quite silent unfortunately.

Our demo installation works with HTTPS: https://mibew.org/demo2

Does it work for you? Did you test the sound over HTTP?
