Question

Disabling port 80 on FMS

I am new to the Flash Media Server and have a question on its use of ports. Now if a server has IIS and FMS and one wished only to stream flash (VOD). Could I edit the fms.ini file and remove port 80 from adaptor.hostport?

In my thinking I would stream over port 1935 and would lose the ability to progressive download over port 80. Now I do not ever want to use progressive downloading so no issue so far. In addition I can now run my IIS server on port 80 for my administartor console into FMS.  All my clients are internal and thus I do not need a stream on port 80.

Is my thinking sound or am I misssing something?

    Provided that there are no firewall or proxy issues on your network that would prevent your internal clients from accessing FMS on port 1935, removing port 80 from the host port list should not be a problem.
