FMS2 on Linux

[ComboDrums]

Hi!

I installed Flash Media Server 2 developer version on my Debian Sarge PC. I
try to manage and use it now and i try to connect to the admin service but it
fails.

I put the fms2_console.swf and fms2_console.html file in my web server
directory and i connected from another machine on the local network like this :
[url]http://192.168.1.10/admin/fms/[/url], put the server adress (192.168.1.10:1111), my
admin name and password but a window tells me that the login is incorrect. I
checked it in the fms.ini config file and the admin and pass are good!

So what happened?

Thanks!

Moreever, I restart the admin service with the shell command
/opt/macromedia/fms/fmsmgr adminserver restart, it restarts but a message tells
me this : ./shmrd: error while loading shared libraries: libnspr4.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Maybe it is because i can not connect to the admin service?

I am having very similar issues on FC4. Here is what is happening ...

Went through default installation of FMS with the -platformWarnOnly option to
get it installed. If I open fms2_console.htm with Firefox I cannot login and
get a prompt saying that "Login attempt to server below failed". I did not
know about an fms.ini file so I figured I mistyped my password during
installation. I uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same thing. I cannot
connect to [url]http://localhost:1111[/url] nor [url]http://localhost:1935[/url] - I get a Closed
Connection dialogue in Firefox. I do not have the Firewall Enabled and SELinux
is also disabled. I have since run a # yum update and ran a full update on the
system. And also tried # yum install libnspr4 as driected in the reply but to
no avail.

It seems to me that the Admin Server simply is not starting. I have tried
starting it using # /etc/init.d/fms start ; # /opt/macromedia/fms/adminserver
start and a few other ways. There is a message to look in /var/logs/messages
but there is nothing in there that seems FMS related. I am a Linux novice but
understand enough to run # ps -ef | grep fms but the only thing that gets
returned is the grep command so I do not think the process is running at all.

The very odd thing is that I have it running fine in a VM with VMWare 5.5.
The two versions of FC4 are pretty much the same. I have no idea how to go
about comparing them in Linux.

Sorry for the wordy message. If you can help I will appreciate it.

Linking the libssl and libcrypto files from this post solved my problem ...

Alright. I've worked through a number or problems so far and here's where I got
to...

the server now starts but with problems:

./fmsmgr server fms start

it continues to repeat the message about 15 more times before it stops with
"Server stopped ."

I couldn't really see anything wrong with Adaptor.xml but who knows... any
suggestions?

Hi.

I finally installed Red Hat Entreprise 4 instead of my Debian Sarge
"unssuported" Linux version.

But I have also problem to install FMS on, a message is written when I prompt
"./installFMS" like that :
./fmsini: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

ERROR: Your are running the Macromedia Flash Media Server installer
on the wrong platform.

But I have 2 libstdc++.so as you can see here :
locate libstdc++.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3

So what's wrong with FMS on Red Hat Entreprise 4?

Thanx for your help!

[ComboDrums]

Houra!

I succesfully installed and connected to the admin service after installed the rpm package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm.

So I can work now...

I can't get FMS running on my RedHat 9 server.
The edge.log keeps reporting errors:

Assert failed in /server/edge/TCEdgeControlTransport.cpp line 180

Any ideas?

[ComboDrums]

Sorry nixnax but I can't help you. In my opinion, there is a lot of problem if
you try to use FMS2 on another platform than the linux platform recommanded by
Macromedia, Red Hat Entreprise 3 or 4.

But I also have difficulty to use FMS on this platform!...

I can connect to the admin service as I said yesterday, but now I try to test
some webcam live application which work on my Windows FMS test server.

So I checked if the service was in use, I also set the autostart like this
"/opt/macromedia/fms/fmsmgr setautostart" and restart my server, create a
directory nammed "broadcast" in "/opt/macromedia/fms/applications/" which is
the same name than my directory project but I can't connect to the service when
I test my application.

Any idea? Thanx.

I've started testing with CentOs that uses the same kernel as Enterprise 4 and
the results are amazing. It is much faster than my Redhat release 9 and FMS is
running like an angel. And it is free. But maybe I am lucky, because I also
found some articles from people who couldn't get FMS running on CentOs. Being
lucky or not seems to be the case with FMS :)

About :
"Assert failed in /server/edge/TCEdgeControlTransport.cpp line 180"

I KNOW THE PROBLEM :-)
It's the kernel 2.4, use the kernel 2.6 solve the problem.

[ofeet]

i have 2.6 on mine (gentoo) but I was able to fix it by emerging openssl and
some netscape package. I guess FMS2 has to think you have a browser. since I
don't even have a gui on the server, I had to just get some packages and
install them. that fixed my assertion problem.

everything works, I can't connect to my server. i know it's running because it
prints the traces (in my main.asc) into the console of the fms2 server viewing
tool thingy. so if anyone finds out what that problem is, that would be sweeeet.

[apryan]

ofeet: what netscape package did u emerge?

I have gentoo 64bit and was able to get it to install by bypassing the check
for OS and setting it. Right now fms complains about not seeing libssl. ldd
shows libssl.4 and libcrypto.so.4 missing. I sym linked them to /lib32/ and am
awaiting the outcome. ldconfig hasnt updated any data in ldd, so ill see what
else i can find.

use that link for the emerge stuff. that's gentoo specific. don't know what to
tell you about the 64 bit stuff (you might be sol)

I found it was license issue for me. Because free edition supports only one instance - no virtual hosts, only default http directory must be used.
