fms.ini reconfiguration for media loaction

my remote server company installed the FMS (streaming Server) but there are multiple partitions Linux and where the FMS is installed is / (root) has not enough room to put in all the media.

1 can I configure the fms.ini file to direct the streaming media to one of the domains or IP's which would be in the root under /home/ where the various domains are located?

this is the configuration right now. on demand and progressive:

VOD_COMMON_DIR = /opt/adobe/fms/webroot/vod the live link doesn't apply since this is only the streaming server. on demand only

VOD_DIR = /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media

SERVER PARTITIONS LAYOUT:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda5 7.8G 1.5G 6.0G 20% / (location of FMS)

/dev/sda8 243G 25G 206G 11% /home

/dev/sda6 996M 34M 911M 4% /tmp

/dev/sda3 7.8G 3.7G 3.7G 50% /usr

/dev/sda2 9.7G 844M 8.4G 9% /var

/dev/sda1 122M 17M 100M 14% /boot

or do all the partitions need to be reconfigured to allow space for the f4v & flv streaming (not progressive) media?

    Hi Klaus,

    This parameter sets the path to media that is available over RTMP (streaming) or HTTP (progressive download):
    VOD_COMMON_DIR = /opt/adobe/fms/webroot/vod the live link doesn't apply since this is only the streaming server. on demand only

    This parameter sets the path to media that is available over RTMP only:
    VOD_DIR = /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media

    You can change the VOD_DIR parameter to point to another folder. For more information, check out "Configuring content storage":

    Hope that helps,
    Jody

    Hi Laurel
    they just emailed me about Bronze support it's $250, for an answer that probably takes them 1 minute to write, outrageous, even though I spend $1000 for the software.

    Right now i have useless software on my server.

    I will need get an outside Flash expert, Adobe is so consumer unfriendly.

    I will forward the technote that techeye posted to a flash expert, hopefully I find one in a few days.

    Greed will backfire soon as one can see with the banks now,

    one unhappy Adobe customer

    thanks
    Klaus

    I don't fully understand your questions, but perhaps one of these two options might help:

    1. Stacking virtual directories for vod:

    2. create symlinks to content

    the lack of Adobe support

    this is a direct quote from Adobe Support to this question

    Hi ,

    I didn't see any support contract associated with this case. Usually you
    would need a valid support contract for Flash Media Server product
    support as per this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/fms/

    If you do have valid support, please provide us with an order number so
    that we can validate entitlement. If you don't have support, you can
    obtain valid support by choosing the desired contract and following the
    appropriate steps.

    Let us know.

    Thanks.

    I went to the support purchase link above and the only support option is the silver for $10,000 per year, whom are they kidding? That's 10 times the purchase price. Greed has come to Adobe.

    Bronze per incident support is also available with Flash Media Server.
