Hello, I am new to the Flash Media Server 3 and have decided to take the development server out for a spin. I use mostly linux based systems as well as apache mysql and php. (Commonly referred to as LAMP). I have been using fedora 8 for basic systems, and just installing minimal software to configure servers. I usually work from terminal mode and have most systems start in run level 3. I have had a great struggle trying to get The development server running in F8 and I have done some research in trying to get it running. The installation goes successfully, but the admin server fails to run. If anyone would please be kind enough to highlight any basic troubleshooting for FMS3 on general linux systems, sites I have read through but still have not resolved my issues include :

Please reply with any links to more information. I am currently looking through the documentation that came with it to find the location of log files, and interpret what messages I may find. Any information I find I will add in with a reply to this post. Hopefully if anyone already is aware of this information or anything useful towards the troubleshooting for setting up and successfully running FMS3 Development or otherwise on general linux, please reply to this post.

Originally, I had only ldd to display the libraries requested by the server executables, and I have only been looking into the /var/log/messages for any information. I am sure more information will be found in the individual logs of each component, and I guess I will find the location of those logs with enough browsing and reading. When I do find them, I will communicate the information as best I can and what messages I am recieving as well as what I did to resolve those issues, if I can of course. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well, from what I have read, I have checked to make sure all the libs are found. Now the only thing that I can't resolve is why fmsadmin fails. The log reads
    2008-03-21 17:28:41 3042 (e)2631013 Failed to create listener for adaptor , IP localhost, port 11110: TCCommBridge::createListener 0.0.0.0:-1/other: create socket failed.. -

    2008-03-21 17:28:41 3042 (e)2631114 Failed to start listeners for adaptor FCSAdminIpcProtocol. -
    2008-03-21 17:28:41 3042 (e)2581002 Server initialization failed; service will be stopped. -
    2008-03-21 17:28:41 3042 (e)2671122 Server aborted. -

    I wonder how to breakdown these messages. Is createListener 0.0.0.0 a good or bad thing? Should it be saying something else? I have allowed the ports for 1111 on the firewall, and netstat doesn't show any other service binded to those ports. When I run server start and adminserver start, I get the same thing in the admin.XX.log and similar results in the edge.XX.log The master.XX.log seems everything is fine, so it seems that it has trouble connecting the listeners. If anyone would be kind enough to shine some light on the process involved in connecting the listeners, so that I may check what needs to be set and defined, or given the right permissions/se context or what have you. It seems this is the issue I have mostly seen in pages found through google. Any help is very much appreciated.
