So I just purchased the flash media server yesterday and migrated the files and applications to the live site. And things just wont work. I have encoded videos in the definst folder, but nothing shows up. The site takes a really long time to load and often crashes my firefox. I have verified that the server is running and all the services are running. I am using a Red Hat Linux server. has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a suggestion to trouble shoot this problem.

Also i cannot log into the admin console i am using the correct user and pwd.

    From what you describe, I suspect there might be firewall getting in the way. Did you open port 1935 on your server firewall?

    By default, the flashplayer will connecting to FMS on port 1935. If 1935 fails, the flashplayer will attempt to connect on port 80. It takes a while for the second attempt to happen, so that would explain the lag in the connecting being accepted.

    I'm not sure why firefox is crashing, but that wouldn't be caused by a server issue. Is there something in your actionscript that might cause the flashplayer to crash if the netconnection isn't accepted? Perhaps a conditional that results in an infinite loop?

    About the admin service... are you sure it's running and there's no firewall blocking port 1111? Try entering this into your browser:

    http://[server ip or hostname]:1111

    If the service responds with an XML file, it's running.
