Question

FMS not restarting when rebooting

Hi Everyone

I have a problem when rebooting the computer: Flash Media Server will not restart automatically after rebooting.

During installation I've set the server to run as a daemon, yet it doesnt seem to start up automatically.

It's a bit strange because I can actually connect to the admin console, and even 'restart' the server from there, yet when I try to stream content it will not connect. The only way I can start the server is through the command line.

This is what I'm running:

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 😎

- Linux 2.6.9-89.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Jun 13 07:05:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

- Flash Media Streaming Server 3.0.1 r123

After rebooting, these are  the processes that are running:

root      5425     1  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 ./fmsmaster -silent
root      5445  5425  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 /opt/adobe/fms/fmsedge -edgeports :1935,443,80 -coreports localhost:19350 -conf /opt/adobe/fms/conf/Server.xml -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -name _defaultRoot__edge1
root      5555     1  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 ./fmsadmin -console -conf ./conf/Server.xml

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a known problem with FMSS 3.0.1?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ryan

    That's strange, especially since the right processes are running. Perhaps there's something in the logs about what happens, have you take a look through /var/log/messages and the FMS logs? Particularly look for the master log mentioning that it's trying to start a core - that should be the sign of the connection, and you can check the access log too to see if the connection is even getting in.

    Hi Asa

    Thanks, I'll check the logs in /var/log/messages. I remember watching the server logs in the admin console displayed nothing, not even an attempt to connect. Will post again if any clue comes up.
