Question

How can I limit the IP addresses that FMS uses so that IIS works?

I have managed to install the trial version of FMS - developer 4.5 using the defaults including Apache, and it works reasonably well. However it has used-up all the available IP addresses so that IIS does not now work. I need IIS and FMS to reside together on the same server, as IIS provides document download and upload for our web-site on a different server. I have tried changing the FMS.ini file to limit the IP and Ports used, but to little use. My server is Win2k8 R2, and IIS V7.5 + V7.0 for FTP; all 64bit.

Kind regards Ken Birch

1. Did you restart FMS after changing your ip/port bindings in fms.ini?

2. Did you disable socket pooling on IIS by using netsh to define the IP's IIS should use?

Hello Jay

Thank you for your interest. In answer to the points you raised.

1. Yes I did restart FMS and also I restarted the machine as well. Here is the part of the ini file I used:-

# IP address and port(s) Flash Media Server should listen on

# For example:

#    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80

#

ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = 84.40.35.133:1935,80

2. I did not use 'netsh' as I do not know how to. However I have assigned each of the 4 other IP4 addresses for this machine to individual web-sites, all bound to port 80. The above setting in FMS allowed me to do this.

I am unable to access the web-sites recieving a 404 error from IIS, so it would appear that I am getting too IIS but all the paths have stopped working.

The FMS appears to working correctly as I can view all of the samples externally, and have viewed an MP4 file my collegue has produced, as well as an FLV file.

Would changing the FMS proxy from Apache to IIS help?

If you have any ideas, I would be greatful.

Regards Ken Birch.
