FMS2 does connect, but sample apps don't

[Unknowner]

hi all,
i don't think anyone can help me, but i'll explain my problem anyway..

i have FMS2 installed on Win XP.. it works fine..
and i can go to the admin console. So i want to try a sample application..
i create a new instance (just like the name what the script says: for example;
example_sharedball)

then i start the example sharedball.. but in the admin i can't see someone is
connected.. and when i start another example sharedball thing, it's not in the
same position as the other one.. and when u move one of them, the otherone
doesnt move too..

i also have tried the other sample application,
none seems to work..

any help would be appreciated!

[Unknowner]

yeah, i've in the application directory a dir called tutorial_sharedball
(inside this there is the file main.asc), and then i go to the console, there i
start the new instance with the definst of room_01. Then i start the
tutorial_sharedball.swf but that doesnt seems to be connected.. and this is the
connect line:
client_nc.connect("rtmp:/tutorial_sharedball/room_01");

[Unknowner]

though the tutorial_sharedball.swf isnt in the same directory as the FMS directory.. it's on my desktop. i have put it in the main FMS install dir.. but even then, it doenst work..

Assuming that FMS is installed on the machine where the .swf is located, try
this as your rtmp string:

client_nc.connect("rtmp:/localhost:1935/tutorial_sharedball/room_01");

You need to identify the host as well as the application

[Unknowner]

nope, that didnt solve my prob..

i think i don't got the include files NetDebug etc..
i'm using flash 8.. what are you using?

[JayCharles]

I'm using 8, but I'm not familiar with the sample apps. If you don't need the connection debugger (which AFAIK didn't ship with Flash 8), just remove the line that includes it (or comment it out).

[Unknowner]

ok, now i removed the include part of the debugger.. then i get the next error:

Level: error
Code: NetConnection.Connect.Failed


:S it's pretty confusing and frustrating, because a year ago with flash mx; i
had no problem.. now i want to continue with FMS.. i'm getting this stupid
errors :(

[JayCharles]

Hmm... any chance you have a firewall getting in the way?

[JayCharles]

I just noticed your updated post.

Now that we have a rejection error, we know that the flashplayer is finding
the server, and the server is rejecting the connection. Take a look at the logs
and see if there is a message telling you why. You can also add some code to
the swf to display the error description (if the server is sending one to the
client).

[Unknowner]

hmm, this is what i see in the live log of the: tutorial_sharedball/room_01 in
the admin console:

Hi,

I installed FMS in my win XP as well. The servers started without error but
the samples don't work and no error reported. Before, FCS 1.5 worked well
with all samples. From the "System Requirement" of FMS, win XP is not in the
list. So, it's not strange.

I installed FMS in my Fedora Core 5 box (nor in the "System Requirement"
list). The samples are working with it.

Does anyone has a successful story with win XP?

Ok,
you're absolutely right!

I just installed the FCS 1.5 again, and now its working just fine and the
samples works too!
Now i would like to hear from someone the explenation for this problem, that
appearently more people have except me..

I'll continue my experiments on FCS 1.5 for now... i hope that i can get FMS 2
to work!
