FMS2 on FC4 anyone?

[gepatto]

Has anyone been able to install FMS2 on Fedora Core 4?
Installations with -plaformWarnOnly goes fine.
But the server won't start. I can see the process start, but it just stops
again.
I've also installed mozilla-nspr as suggested in another thread.
there's also no messages in /var/log/messages

Anyone got an idea?

Patrick.

Hello gepatto,

I did not try it on Fedora, but had a simmilar occurance with SuSE Linux 10.
To find out what the problem is, edit the file "server" in the FMS2
installation directory ( usually /opt/macromedia/fms). In the section "start"
of this file look for those two lines : "nohup ./$server -console $@ >
/dev/null 2>&1 &" and "nohup ./$server $@ > /dev/null 2>&1 &". Change them to
look like this : "./$server -console $@" and " ./$server $@ ".
When you now start fms2 by calling "server" ( or better said ./server at the
linux prompt from within /opt/macromedia/fms/ ) you will see what fms complains
about. In my case it was two missing libraries ( libssl.so.4 and libcrypto.so.4
) After creating them by linking to the existing versions in my system (
libssl.so.0.9.7 and libcrypto.0.9.7) fms worked perfectly as expected and
starts logging into /var/log/messages, too. I don't know if this helps you out
of your entire problem, but maybe it gives a starting point.

Hey MIBtwo,
thnx, I got it running now in FC4.
changing the server file did not give any clues (actually did nothing at all),
so I restored the original version.
The two symbolic links however DID solve my problem! [ on FC4 they are
/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7.f and /lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.f ]
