Question

FMS on non-Redhat linux distributions?

Hi,

We do not use, or ever want to use Redhat Enterprise editions. Is it possible to get FMS to work on a non-Redhat linux?
I can't believe a company like Adobe/Macromedia would provide such poor support for Linux, and constrain it to one distribution.

Regards,
Cormac

    We're using it with Debian with no problems at all.

    Yeah - it took me a while to get it to work. By default it would simply exit when you try to run the server, and everything looked fine - but it never actually loaded. Turned out I was missing libraries, and there was no error(because of some bad shell scripting, that they should fix!!!).

    I installed it on a Debain server (owned and used by about 10 people) - and it crashed it. They were not happy.

    Anyway,
    Cheers!

    You can install on just about any flavor of Linux... just use platformWarnOnly if you're installing on anything other than Redhat.

    That said, I've read about all sorts of stability problems (particularly with the admin service) when running on anything other than Redhat, so if your apps are critical, I'd suggest sticking with one of the offically supported operating systems.
