Question

FMS 3.5.1 + IIS on Server 2008 after rebooting

Hi,

My IIS server can't start properly after a reboot (Windows update f. ex.). I have an error message that says it's not possible to start this service because it is used by an another process (Flash Media Server).

It works again if I stop Flash Media Server and Flash Media Server administration and I start one by one my websites and start FMS after.

I couldn't see on this forum any similar problems, but I don't think I'm the only one that use FMS under Server 2008!

-What's wrong on my configuration/server?

-Do I need to disable Auto-start and do it automatically with the task scheduler?

Thanks for any help!

Regards

P.

    OK Jay, thanks for your reply.

    I suppose I have to fixe this line:

    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80

    to

    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935

    in the fms.ini

    But I can't see where I can fix the IP address.

    This server will be 100% streaming, it's the reason I didn't install Apache on the server and I use only RTMPE and I don't need the port 80.

    Is it a problem?

    To define a specific IP address to bind to:

    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = 0.0.0.0:1935,80

    Obviously, you'll replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP you want to bind to.

    The purpose of binding to port 80 is to support tunneled connections over the default HTTP port. Unless you are absolutely positive that none of your users will have firewall or proxy settings preventing connections on port 1935, it's best to allow FMS to bind to port 80.

    Sounds to me like you have FMS binding to port 80 on an IP in use by IIS.

    The fix is to bind FMS to one IP address, and IIS to another.
