Question

FMS Edge dying...

So we've got like 15 Edge servers setup wtih 5 Origin servers. Things seem to generally work for streaming live video. There are problems though where some boxed won't always come up as if FMS has hung.

Currently I'm checking the number of fmscore processes with a script since I can't seem to get the HTTP admin interface to return anything other than NetConnection.Connect.Rejected: Admin user requires valid username and password. Which is odd since it has the correct username and password and the config files say it should work.

But sometimes the servers won't even start correctly. We have all of the logging turned on. But it starts up, says it loads the applications, no second fmscore process starts, and the remaining processes disappear after 5 to 10 minutes. No errors anywhere on the system.

This is CentOS 4 with FMS 2.0.4 and FMS 2.0.3.

Anyone else having similar problems or have suggestions to things that we could trouble shoot? I'm going to resort to straces soon.

    The edge server isn't running the application though. Only the Origin servers are.

    But yes, I've allowed only access from localhost or backnet ip range and allowed all commands and verified the username and password against the config file. But no luck, always get the error. I was going to try pinging the adobe support to see if they have any ideas since we have a support contract. Since it was the weekend they weren't responding to anything. :)

    It's normal behaviour that the applications disappear after a while when there's nothing happening.

    Regarding the HTTP Admin interface, what syntax are you using? Have you enabled the commands you're executing?
    Have you tried the PING (which is enabled by default). Are you sure your fms.ini and users.xml is fine?
