    In the admin console, when you select the application, do you see it listed as running afterwards? If you don't have an application directory, my guess is no.

    I created a new application called test, put a syntax error in the application, restarted FMS to load the application the first time and then selected it in "new instance". As soon as it started, even with a syntax error, the application direcotry was created

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\logs\_defaultVHost_\test\_definst_\

    and there is a log file in the directory with the error.

    To clarify, vod and live are working *on the server*? You can load those instances in the console?

    If you have a syntax error in your code, the application instance will not load and therefore there is nothing to connect to.

    In the admin consule, "View Applications" tab, there is a "New Instance" drop down box. You should see your application name there.

    If you don't, your application is not installed correctly: could be a bad directory, bad name, etc.

    If you see the application name, select it. If it then fails to load then you have an error in your code. FMS won't tell you anything, the application will just not load, or will load for a half second and disappear... yes, that is all you get...a very intuitive way to tell you there is a syntax error and how to find it...

    So then go to:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\logs\_defaultVHost_\[your application name]\_definst_\

    Then you'll see a few log files: application.xx.log. Pick the most recent, (I think the biggest number) and open it. You'll see details of why your application is failing to load.
