Emeeting module
The eMeeting module is a simple interface between Marratech video conferencing suite and Moodle. It allows meetings to be created on Moodle as course activities. It uses special servlets attached to the Marratech API to seamlessly create correspoding rooms on Marratech.
Servlet Installation
You have two options for deploying the servlets used in this plugin: you can install them in Marratech Manager or you can install them in a separate server environment, such as Tomcat. Install servlets first, then the Moodle Module.
Installing Servlets into Marratech Manager
Note: This installation has only been tested with Marratech Manager 3.4.
Extract emeeting_jettyinstall.tar.gz
into a new directory.
In the directory run installer using:
./install_servlets [Marratech Manager installation directory]
After the installation, restart Marratech Manager. This can be done with:
/etc/init.d/MarratechManagerXX stop
/etc/init.d/MarratechManagerXX start
Where the XX depends on your version of Marratech Manager.
Once the server is running, log into Marratech Manager as admin. Go to 'Administration'>'Advance'>'Control Central'>'JSP&Servlets' Click the Compile All button. Scroll down see that .jsp pages /mdlplug/* are active. This completes the installation.
