I am still trying to fully grasp the concepts of Adobe Media Server. What I need is way to use remote shared objects with flash. I want to be able to store data on my website's server in the form of a shared object. I want to do this because shared objects are incredibly easy to work with in flash. I have downloaded and used the demo for adobe media server and gotten it to work locally on my computer the way I want. Using localhost. My question is, how can I impliment whats on my computer to my website. How can I install adobe media server onto my web server so I can use a webpage .swf file to connect to the adobe media server and use remtote shared objects? Is this possible? Is it simpler than how I am looking at it?

I need a little bit of assistance, any is much appriciated.

Hi William,

Please follow the same method of installation on your web server as you did for your local machine.

For linux:

1. Unzip the tar file and run ./installAMS on the web server

For Windows:

1. Run the .exe on the webserver and follow the installation.

Only change is, during the installation process when asked if Apache is to be installed, select no.

Thanks,

Hi William,

You can install AMS on your web server without the bundled Apache (during installation when you're given the option to install Apache select no). Then use your web server to serve the .swf file and AMS for shared objects. Implementation of the shared object part will remain the same.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.

Thanks,

Apurva

Okay I am going to adventure on installing the server but I have another question. Should I move the install files onto the server then attemp to install it from there, or shoud I install it on my computer then move the installed files onto the server?

Thank you for you help so far.
