HLS and external Apache HTTP Server not working

I installed the FMS 4.5 on a debian system already running an apache web server.

I configured the httpd.conf as mentioned in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WSd391de4d9c7bd6093a7e2f8312a374a1bde-8000.html but when i call a streaming url e.g. http://<IP>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8 the request is still handled by the old apache, not by the FMS.

When i stop the old apache and restart the FMS the request is handled by the FMS and streaming works.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Hi,

Thanks for using FMS 4.5

Since you have two copies of apache running on the same machine, they can be separated by specifying the port in the URL. By default, the apache that's bundled with FMS runs on port 8134 and hence you can change the URL to look like http://<IP>:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8 to point to the apache on FMS.

Hope it helps, thank you !

Ok, that makes sense Thanks for your answer.

A further question:

Might some firewalls now block port 8134 instead of 80 for http? Could this be a new problem?

Thanks!

I wont say it as a problem, but yes, it can happen ....

so, either shift apache on FMS as your primary web server (by changing the port config in httpd.conf file under apache of FMS) or open up the firewall for this port.
