Hi Everyone,

I have FMS3 installed on a windows machine, on the C: drive, and I want to change the location of the applications folder to another partition. The explanation in the Configuration and Administration Guide sounded simple enough: editing three parameters in the fms.ini file: VHOST.APPSDIR, LIVE_DIR, and VOD_DIR. I changed them to point to the new location and restarted the server and everything started fine. When I test to stream video in the vod folder however, it fails. If I do a fmschk: fmscheck --host localhost --app vod --logfile chk.txt, I get this:

#Version 1.0.0 r15
#2008-09-26 12:15:27
#Software: Adobe Flash Media Server Check 1.0.0 r15
#2008-09-26
#Fields: date time x-event x-sname
2008-09-26 12:15:27 Connect rtmp://localhost:1935/vod
2008-09-26 12:15:27 NetConnection.Connect.Rejected [ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (vod) is not defined.
2008-09-26 12:15:27 Connection fail -

I've checked the Applications.xml file located in the vod folder, and I have:

<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>

and VOD_DIR in my fms.ini is pointing to the new location.

I'm stuck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan

    The error log seem to indicate that there FMDS is not able to find a sub directory named "vod" inside folder VHOST.APPSDIR .
