Hi

I have installed FMS-3 on my Windows 2003 server running IIS6.
I am able to reslove to the sample material using localhost
I have a subdomain, lets say fms.companyname.com.
how do I set this up to resolve to the fms server instead of localhost? so that I can test from outside the local environment

I'm not clear where I configure this and I cant find any documention that covers this topic, please forgive me if this has been covered before...

    I don't really want to talk you through the whole process of adding a new vhost but why could you not hit the machine with FMS by IP instead?

    you would need a vhost in this case. But why bother? If you can access the server via IP then you're up and running. Messing with vhosts just complicates things. If you have a real need then check the docs for more info.

    Cheers

    That's just it... I cannot connect via IP when viewing the page outside of my local network (over the internet). I have tried to following the documentation but still unable to get it to work.

    Firstly, name resolution can be tested by using ping and looking at the IP address that the name is resolved. To override the name resolution one can modify their etc/hosts file (among many other possibilities).
    Are you able to telnet to the port that FMS is listening on? telnet www.mydomain.com 1935 ? If not, something is blocking your access. If you can indeed connect, check the logs to see if anything is suspect.

    Security policy set by IT blocks acces to our web server via IP otherwise I would be happy to... Is there a relevant article you can direct me to, I assume vHost is the clue...

    Were you able to find more info this? I am in a similar situation and I cannot connect to a stream outside of my local network. I have tried setting up a vHost, but I must be missing somethingin the configuration.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Tim
