Question

Help installing fms on windows server 2008

Hello,

I have FMS for developper 3.5.4. I have 2 computers:

One called SVR with windows 2008 on it with iis7.

One called PC with windows 7 which is my client.

I would install FMS on the one called SVR beside IIS7.

What I have done:

--------------------------

I install FMS without apache.

I create a flash file with an flvplayback object which have source property set to "rtmp://SVR/vod/sample.flv"

This swf file is in a html file called test.html

When I try to load this test.html I see the flvplayback object which seems seraching. But nothing happened from SVR or PC.

Is it a problem with FMS, with firewall (I open 80,1935 ports).

Thanks to any help or clue !

    Hi NBauland ,

    Please check the following:

    1) Are you sure FMS is started and running? Check in your taskmanager if FMSCore.exe, FMSMaster.exe, FMSEdge.exe, also FMSAdmin.exe are running.

    2) Have you tried playing from same server with localhost as adress, i.e, in your case, from the SVR machine try playing rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv.

    I suspect you have run into issue with IIS not allowing FMS to bind with the IP available. However, check the above two scenarios to make it more clear.

    Thanks,

    Abhishek

    Hi AbhishekSinha,

    1) In taskmanager, I have FMSCore (2 instances - is that normal ?), FMSMaster FMSEdge and FMSAdmin.

    2) I've tried following address:

    FROM SVR:

    addressResult
    rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://svr/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://svr:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://lan-ip-of-svr/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://lan-ip-of-svr:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://wan-ip-of-svr/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://wan-ip-of-svr:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://public-internet-address/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://public-internet-address:1935/vod/sample.flvOK

    FROM PC:

    addressResult
    rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flvFAILED(normal result)
    rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/sample.flvFAILED (normal result)
    rtmp://svr/vod/sample.flvFAILED ????
    rtmp://svr:1935/vod/sample.flvFAILED ????
    rtmp://lan-ip-of-svr/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://lan-ip-of-svr:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://wan-ip-of-svr/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://wan-ip-of-svr:1935/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://public-internet-address/vod/sample.flvOK
    rtmp://public-internet-address:1935/vod/sample.flvOK

    As I've tried all previous time with rtmp://svr/... it has failed. But why can't I get rtmp://svr/... address ? http://svr/... for html page works fine.

    This looks like some problem with the network configurations as FMS is running fine as it seems it can connect from IP address but not from hostname. Do you have any other machines apart from Win 7 machine in the same domain as your Win 2008 machine and if yes can you try connecting by hostname from that?

    Also check your Win 7 firewall settings (though very unlikely this is problem). I haven't much idea but I know Win 7 has different kind of profiles - some domain profile ,some public profile and some private profile and also it has settings for inbound and outbound connections, so it may happen that some of this is causing problem.

    Also are you sure your DNS is configured correctly and how are you resolving hostname. I guess you may be using a  DNS Server for resolution. Try using  hostname resolution using hosts file in Windows 7 machine as listed under section 'hostname resolution using hosts file' here at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc940089.aspx. See if that works.
