FMS is running but video won't play

We're running Flash Media Server streaming version 2.0 under Linux. Recently our sysadmin rebooted the whole server and FMS stopped streaming. It's running, and it's listening on the correct ports, but when a user tries to watch a video on the Web site it doesn't play. The Flash Media Player pops up but it just sits there "transferring data" that never arrives. Sysadmin insists nothing was changed on the server itself, and nothing was changed on the FMS config either. We have a pro license so it's not that. mySQL connection is present, everything seems to be is working perfectly but the stream never starts. Help!

thanks in advance

    I'm having a similar problem with the FMS development 3.0 server on a Red Hat 5 install. What linux distribution are you running it on?

    I have the same basic scenario right out of the box. I can get to the VOD test page, but can't get any of the files to actually stream.
