Hi,
My hosting company doesn't provide me access to the commands to install FMS (errors below). I can pay them to install it but starting and restarting would presumably have to be done as root. Is it possible to install FMS as a user?

Thanks for your help.

Installing Adobe Flash Media Server files...
Configuring Adobe Flash Media Server...
Adding "fms" service.
Setting default admin to "fms".
./installFMS: line 989: chown: command not found
./installFMS: line 992: chgrp: command not found
./installFMS: line 1003: /sbin/chkconfig: No such file or directory
Setting autostart for "fms".
Server:fms command:start

ERROR: You must be logged in as root to use this command.
If you really need to start the server as non-root please
modify this script.

Admin server:fmsadmin command:start

ERROR: You must be logged in as root to use this command.
If you really need to start the server as non-root please
modify this script.


The Adobe Flash Media Server installation is complete.

    Unfort you can not do so with FMS 3 on Linux. I installed it as root but upon attempting to make the admin server run under a user credentials it wouldn't connect to several system protocols.
