FMS InvalidApp problem

Hey Everyone,
I'm running the development edition of FMS on my Vista machine.

It was working fine for some time, but now when I connect, Flash always traces a NetConnection.Connect.InvalidApp error. I have tried everything I can think of, is there anything I'm missing? Is this a Vista problem? Is there something I need to adapt?

I've already tried deleting the application I was working on, to isolate the problem, and I'm now installing this on my XP machine. EDIT: It doesn't work on my XP machine either. I tried running it through rtmpt and I got NetConnection.Connect.Failed rather than InvalidApp, which isn't much better. I'll try installing this on my Fedora server next, but I'm running out of computers fast. Please, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Really stoked then really frustrated :-/

    I have a file "HelloWorld.asc" in a folder called "HelloWorld" under the "Flash Media Server 3\applications" folder. I had this working before but now it doesn't work at all. My server-side code is this:

    application.onConnect = function (client) {
    trace("SERVER: Client connected");
    }

    This was working before totally fine and I could view the output in the administrator control.

    I can't connect to ANY applications, not the sample "/live" or "/vod" applications, or ANYTHING. This totally sucks, what's going on with FMS!?

    Well, if you are on Vista, looks like there are some glitches due to the Vista's default behavior to protect files on Windows / Program Files folder.

    I too faced similar problem. I did following:
    1) Stop FMS Services:
    a. Choose Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
    b. Select Flash Media Server (FMS) from the Services list and click Stop.
    c. Select Flash Media Administration Server from the Services list and click Stop.

    2) Change Configuration for Application folder. I changed it to a folder on D drive as I Program Files are on C drive.

    3) Restart FMS Services:
    a. Choose Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
    b. Select Flash Media Server (FMS) from the Services list and click Start.
    c. Select Flash Media Administration Server from the Services list and click Start.

    Now its working fine for me. Hope this helps!

    Hey...

    How is your test app set up? Your app should have its own application folder under the /applications path.
