Question

Login Problem Flash Media Admin Console

New to FMS, testing FMS Developers versions.

Connect and Live stream works fine using FMLE.

Problem is I'm not sure how to get logged into the Admin Console.

I'm not sure about what the "Server Name" is or the "Server Address". Is that just the IP address or the IP plus something else? How can I tell?

FMS install was done by tech at hosting company and he forwarded this info:

----------- Install Action Summary -----------

Installation directory = /opt/adobe/fms

Flash Media Server Port = 1935,80
Flash Media Admin Server Port = 1111

Apache Install = Yes


Administrative username = ******
Administrative password = ******

service owner = nobody

service user = nobody
service group = nobody

Run as daemon = Yes
Start Flash Media Server = Yes

    I'm having same issue: Cannot login to Admin panel after following instructions from Kevin Towes tutorial on FMS on Amazon. The RTMP and HTTP streaming video works on the index page, but admin will not open for me no matter what I've done in the .ini or users.xml. I've triend opening ports, permissions etc... bout to give up

    I have a question.. in the FMS.ini file, it shows this:

    # IP address and port Flash Media Admin Server should listen on

    # For example:

    #    SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = :1111

    #

    SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT =

    Why does this say "IP address and port" yet has an example only showing a port of :1111 ?  And should I be including a colon as the example shows?  Should this really be xxx.xx.xx.xx:1111 or is the FMS.ini's comments wrong perhaps?

    If you fms.ini shows

    SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT =

    that means there is no port which is configured for Admin Server. You need to change SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = to SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = :<port>

    So if you choose to use port 1111 - you need to have

    SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = :1111

    and also make sure your Server machine firewall allows traffic on 1111.

    The example is correct - it needs to be with colon. It is actually SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = <IP Address>:<port> but <IP Address> can be blank which indicates you are using localhost so it will bind to default network adaptor. If you want to specify IP you can find out IP of you server machine and can choose to configure it as SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = <xx.yy.zz.ww>:<port> where <xx.yy.zz.ww> is IP address of your machine.

    Hope this makes things clear for you.

    I'm having the same issue too: Cannot login to Admin panel after following instructions from Kevin Towes tutorial on FMS on Amazon. The RTMP and HTTP streaming video works on the index page, but admin will not open for me no matter what I've done in the .ini or users.xml. I've triend opening ports, permissions etc... I'm about to give up too.

    I've added a username, password, port :1111, updated the security profile to allow port :1111, restarted both the FMS server and the admin server and I still can't log in. Any ideas? Please help.

    You do not need to go inside the windows\system32 dir to issue net stop/start commands.

    Server Name - is just an array of multiple servers you can be working with. I, for one, have 3 at the moment - named "local", "remote", "client's name". So I simply use the dropdown to pick the backend I need at the moment.

    Server Address: paste the address you used with FMLE but without any appplication/instance name, e.g. 192.168.32.40, or mycorp.com.

    Username - Administrative username = ******

    Password - Administrative password = ******

    Also make sure port 111 isn't blocking you.

    Sorry, it's 1111, not 111.

    Thank You for your response Petro!

    I used both the dot notation IP address and the mycompany.com for the server address and still cannot log in. According to the info the hosting company tech sent me, port 1111 is the Server Admin port.

    I'm leaving the Server Name as the default "Server 1". Do I need to change the name, give it a name, or what? But how can I do that if I can't log into the Admin panel? Or will Server 1 work just fine as the Server Name?

    Best wishes.
