FMS Application Creation?

I have created a folder inside Flash Streaming Server/conf/_defaultRoot_/ called Test with some FLV in the folder.  When I log into the console its shows the server and _defaultHost_ and Test but says You are not logged into:Test; please make a seperate connection.  Does this mean it wants a new application created for Test?  How do I fix this? Thanks.

    You don't create applications in the /conf directory. What you've done is created a vhost.

    To create an application (using the default configuration of FMS) create a folder in the /applications directory. Inside the new folder, create a folder named "streams". In the streams folder, create a folder named "_definst_", and put your video files there.

    To access the stream, the RTMP address will look like

    rtmp://myserver.com/name of application folder/name of flv file

    OK so how do I stream videos from this Virtual Host I have greated?

    Are you sure you want to use a new Vhost instead of the default Vhost? It sounds to me like you don't have specific cause to add a new vhost, and if that's the case, you'd likely be better off just using the default (and perhaps also better off using the preinstalled VOD application).

    That said, if you have cause to use a Vhost other than the default, see the following tutorial on configuring vhosts:

    If you just want to stream video from the default Vhost, see the "getting started" tutorials:
