Hi All,

I have configured FMS on Amazon EC2

I am trying to capture data from my webcam and push it to the server.

For storing the webcam i created a new folder  but as it is recommended in other forums

"You need to replace the signed Live application (main.far) with main.asc in  
[FMS-Install-Dir]/samples/applications/live/ ;  (For more Info: refer to
documentations & live/readme.txt) "

I am not able to locate samples folder from where i can get my main.asc file

Please can some advice ?

    you don't have a main.asc? How is your application recording video? Can you change the RTMP string for the client application? because even if you create a folder and place a main.asc inside of it you can't  point at it without changing the RTMP string. If you need  the samples folder to create a main.asc then you can download the development version of FMS and the samples folder will be in the installation directory after you install it on say a desktop computer.

    I wonder why can't you write your own main.asc? What exactly will your main.asc do ?

    i am using http://code.google.com/p/flash-videoio/ to  record the video via webcam and push it to the server. I just have to specify the RTMP server

    Currently the FMS server is hosted by EC2. I have specified RTMP url link to be dns/live path. But as forum suggested you cant record stream directly into that folder and you have to create a new folder copy files from {fms server}/sample/application/live. I have also modified fms.ini file to point to new folder created to record live stream.

    Can you tell me why does the trail FMS server downloaded will have that sample folder and the one on Amazon EC2 wont?

    I have no idea what this main.asc file is and what it contains..so i can't create it..

    Can you suggest any other way to get it on Amazon EC2?

    Thanks for the prev reply.

    Well I hate to be mean but. What are you doing with a FMS server if you don't have a clue on how to administrate it? Are you trying to learn or use it for a website? I suggest you go download a development version and in the installation folder you will find a samples folder and a documentation folder. I suggest you read  these documents completely. Then you go to fmsguru.com and follow tutorial 1-5 if not more. You don't have to write any programs just watch the videos so you begin to understand how FMS works. Before you come back please make sure u at least know what a main.asc file is. READ THIS CAREFULLY fms is not trivial to administrate.
