FMS in Windows System with NFS Client

[MathieuD]

Hi all,

I'm setting up a FMS server in a Windows 2003 R2 operating system. The server
is installed on the system and seems to work fine (in a developpement
envirronement).
The goal of this server will be to create a video file from a user's webcam,
the video will be stored on a NFS Share.
My problem is : remote shares are attached to users' sessions in Windows, how
i'll be able to map a NFS drive for NFS? Is it possible for NFS to connect to a
share over a SYSTEM account or should i leave a ghost session on my system with
the drive mapped and run FMS with the "ghost user" ?

All propositions will be welcome !
Best Regards
Mathieu D.

I think you have the right idea. Run the server as the "ghost user". Make
sure the user has sufficient privledges to access the FMS application
directories, create temp files, create and listen on sockets, etc. Unless yo
have tightened the priveledge granted on your server, it should be sufficient
to add the user to the Administrators group.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for this answer !
I finnaly changed my mind and reinstall the server on a Ubuntu Server
operating system.
FMS is working fine now, and my problem with NFS is solved, the solution for
Windows wasn't enough "clean" for me (leave a ghost session on a Windows system
was a bit crappy for me...)

I now have another problem to allow recording on the server (for the live
sample application), i made a copy of examples files as explained in the
readme.txt but it's still not working... Should i do a new topic entry for this
problem?

Best regards

MathieuD,
Please make sure to remove the applications/live/main.far after you are done with copying files from samples/.../live;

Hi fmslove,

Thanks for your quick answer !
I've remaned the original applications/live folder and directly copy the one
from /samples/applications/live

Here's the files in my /applications/live folder :
U G O | user | group | size | name
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 8029 AC_RunActiveContent.js
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 1035 allowedHTMLdomains.txt
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 992 allowedSWFdomains.txt
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 2229 Application.xml
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 6147 livetest.as
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 3784704 livetest.fla
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 2160 livetest.html
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 127710 livetest.swf
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 8296 main.asc
-rwxr-xr-x nobody root 1575 readme.txt

Hi again,

Problem solved, thanks to Kevin and fmslove for their help.
I guess the problem was from the developper's side because i haven't changed
anything yet when he told me it was working...

Bye all
