    From the description it's clear that credentials provided by you are not correct.

    How are you using the symbols FMSUSERNAME and FMSPASSWORD?

    BTW the values need not be in quotes.

    For server admin you need not use substitution.xml file.

    During installation, the admin credentials you enter are stored in fms.ini file against these keys as key-value pair,

    SERVER.ADMIN_USERNAME and SERVER.ADMIN_PASSWORD

    These keys(you can call them symbols) are then used in Users.xml file. You can use these credentials for executing admin commands. Please check these values for your server.

    Hi vijay

    thanks for the reply, when i first setup the server. I used the default setttings. which gave me the  same error.

    so after searching Adobe Help for the answer, i found this article on creating symbols.

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7ff9.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7e6di.

    However this still isn't working so i have converted all the files back to their oringinal settings.

    my problem is not necessarily streaming the video, its acessing the http, files on the sever.

    i can stream the swf file locally and even when doing a test movie in the flash programme, but i can not seem to acess any of my  web files from the browser, even my mysql databases, hence the error.

    I was wondering if there was an Apache setting that i need to change?

    in the configuration instructions to enable apache, you have to change the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT tag  in the fms.ini file and the SERVER.HTTPD_ENABLED command in the Adaptor.xml.

    how ever in the files of the 3.0.5 upgrade i have changed the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT tag , but the SERVER.HTTPD_ENABLED seems to be missing in the adaptor.xml.

    all i can see is USERS.HTTPCOMMAND_ALLOW = true, this seems to point to a file called admin.xml which i can't find.

    can any one help?
