Question

connectionError

Hello, I'm running FMS 3 on:
root@host fms]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
[root@host fms]# uname -a
Linux mrisgstream01 2.6.9-78.0.1.ELxenU #1 SMP Tue Jul 22 18:40:06 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I am able to connect to the admin console on port 1111. I'm was able to redirect my "Applications" "VOD" and "Live" folders to folders on a different partition. I can create a new folder "Test01" in Applications and see it show up in my admin console.

When I attempt to connect with vodtest.html to the following constructed URL:
rtmp://hostname/vod/sample.flv

I get "connectionError". I tried many variations of the URL, including coping the flv to my Test01 folder.
rtmp://hostname/vod/media/sample.flv
rtmp://hostname/Test01/sample.flv
rtmp://hostname/sample.flv
And nothing works. I poked around some other Forum posts, they say I should see the numbers increase on the admin console under the "Manage Servers" tab, "Applications" Sub Tab. All of the stats there are at 0.

Thinking maybe I had a firewall blocking traffic, I was able to telnet from my webserver to my fms box on port 1935, so I know the port is good. (These boxes are on the same sub net and both have their linux iptables firewall off anyway).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I'm pretty comfortable on the Linux command line, I've been a system admin for the past 8 years. I'm very very new to FMS)



Thanks
Jake

    I have the same problem with FMS 3.0 development version on Linux FC6.

    The FMS is running on the subnet. No firewall installed. I can telnet without any problem.
    telnet 192.168.1.50 1935

    but
    rtmp://192.168.1.50/vod/sample.flv
    did not work.

    No error messages found in /var/log/messages.

    Could anyone please help me.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    We figured it out, turns out you have to have the rtmp port 1935 open to the world. We just had it open to the web servers making the flash video player/stream requests...



    Thanks
