Question

I have two laptops with windows 7 and FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5 in them. Laptop A is working perfectly with the default settings but i cannot connect to FMS with laptop B. I have tried turning windows firewall off, setting fmscore, fmscore and fmsmaster to run under administrator privileges.

The FMS starts correctly on laptop B (i compared the log-files on laptop a and b) and here is edge.00.log from laptop B (i censored my ip and host):

When i hit Connect button in FMLE i get the "Cannot connect to primary server" - error. When i change the FMS-Url to the ip-address of my laptop A i can connect to its FMS. The default FMS Url is rtmp://localhost/live and  Stream: "mystream@38220" (this is working in laptop A).

I downloaded TCPView and compared whats happening with the laptops when i hit the Connect button. On laptop B FMLE sends bytes to FMSEdge and it responds with 1 byte and then nothing happens. On laptop A same thing happens but it opens up FMSCore and the stream starts going live.

Apparently the FMS had worked on laptop B before but then it stopped working due to reasons unknown. I tried reinstalling it with no results and now im clueless. I also tried the fmscheck and it said it cannot connect to FMS. It seems the FMSEdge is not behaving correctly or something is blocking the traffic between the programs. Please help.

Hi

Please check your "access logs" on Machine B to see if the connection is even reaching there. If its not, there is some issue with the network.

Also check all other logs(core, application ) to see any unexpected behavior.

Thanks,

Access log looks like this:

I tried connecting to localhost:1935 with telnet and typing something and then watching what happens in TCPView. It says that the fmsedge process listening to port 1935 establishes the connection and receives the bytes, though it closes it after few seconds probably because it doesnt understand what data i sent. And when FMLE sends 1537 bytes to fmsedge it receives them but nothing happens.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.It seems that the fmscore process is unable to start due to some reason.

Also, its hard to debug since the chronology of the logs is not proper. (Master logs on 8/14 and Core on 8/9)

Here are a few things you should do:

     1. Go to FMS updaters page and update to the latest 4.5.2. You are currently using 4.5.0

          http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html

     2. Make a fresh installation and generate fresh logs when the issue occurs.

     3. Please state if you made any changes to the configurations.
