Run my own instance of apache?

Question

I've had quite some difficulty getting a record from web cam application working on FMS 4.5 - I've learned the following:

(all of this on a rackspace cloud server)

the webcam application works when I install FMS in developer mode and leave my serial # out

In developer or licensed, the application does not work if I choose to not install Apache

I tried coping main.asc to main.far in VOD and Live when in licensed mode and it doesn't work.

When in developer mode and i install apache, everything works fine with the web cam application

(all of this being done as rtmp:// not http://)

so my questions are:

Can I user my own apache instance? I need php, mysql, etc... on this server

Should I not be running FMS on the same server as my web server? Should they be separate? Is this why FMS defaults to port 80 for apache? That seamed a bit odd to me.

Any help is appreciated.

Before i actually come to the issue you are facing let me try answering your questions

Can I user my own apache instance?

Yes very much. If you want to have HTTP Streaming you would need to copy needed HTTP modules to your Apache server set up and do needed configurations

Should I not be running FMS on the same server as my web server?

There is no requirement as such - you can have your webserver on same machine - provided you make sure that there are no port conflicts.

Is this why FMS defaults to port 80 for apache?

That's not the reason why FMS defaults to 80 for Apache - it defaults because 80 is known port for HTTP.

Now coming to your problem: I am not exactly getting hang of your issue. I am trying to put them down again and can you confirm if my understanding of your issue is right

1. FMS 4.5 installed with bundled Apache with no serial key - WebCam Application is able to publish - right?

2. FMS 4.5 installed with bundled Apache with serial key - WebCam Application is not able to publish - right?

3. FMS 4.5 not installed with bundled Apache with/without serial key - WebCam Application is not able to publish - right?

Can you let me know what edition license you have? Also is your Standalone web-server running on same machine when you are running FMS and if yes what port is it using? Where have you hosted your WebCam Application hosted?
