connectionError With FMS3 Out-Of-Box VOD Example

I'm new to FMS.

When I try the out-of-the-box VOD example
on FMS3 I consistently receive a connectionError
on the client side. The video does not play.

I have FMS3 installed on Linux Fedora Core 4.
The error happens both when the client-side
Firefox session runs on the FMS3 machine,
and when I try from Firefox on an XP Pro SP2 box.
That is, the .swf file properly shows the
test client that offers up the various sample
files that are part of the FMS3 installation.

I can also talk to the admin server, bringing
up the admin console. Port 1935 seems reachable
(via telnet).

I do observe one other anomaly: in the admin
monitor, when I try to instantiate a VOD
or Live application, I can see for just a few
seconds the right-hand side display pane with
buttons, and 'live log.' These disappear after
a few seconds, and are replaced by the 'Load an
Instance' prompt.

I've seen a post of the identical problem on a
German Flash forum. What am I doing wrong?

    what url would you use from a remote site using the testvod.html page to access the sample.flv file?

    I think the default setting in either fms.ini or adapter.xml file is 19350 rather than 1935 or 80.

    Check your FMS core log files to see any error logs ; that may tell why FMS3 is not loading the VOD or Live application.

    Is there any relevant error message?

    I am having the same issue.

    torchlamp - did you get it figured out yet?

    I had the same problem but resolved it by adding port 80 as a port in addition to port 1931.

    I was not sure how to add this so I uninstalled FMS then re-installed it and added it during the installation process in the format: 1931,80

    This seemed to do the trick
