Setting up FMS on a remote server with Linux platform

First of all you must download linux distribution of fms with wget url.
Than
tar -zxvf FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz
This will create a directory which contains the installation files.
cd into newly created directory something like
cd FMS_2_0_3_r68_linux
you will see an executable file named installFMS in the dir if you list the files with ls.
just type ./installFMS and press enter.
You should be able to set it up without problem if you officially set it up on linux platforms which are described on its help page but you must use -platformWarnOnly parameter to start if you want to set it up on a platform orther than support list.
it will ask you some questions which you must answer appropriately.
it will install itself into /opt/macromedia/fms and you will be able to manage the service by /etc/init.d/fms.
you can check the service if it has started succesfully by running
ps aux|grep fms
or
netstat -aln|grep 1935

there should be a running process named fms
or
the port 1935 should be listenning on some interfaces

if you don't see any of them than service might not be started succesfully.

You may try to start the service manually by typing
/etc/init.d/fms start

if you can't start it again
cd /opt/macromedia/fms/
and run
./server start
you should see some complaints about some packages needed such as netscape libraries or ulimit problem
if you see problem about ulimit than change your ulimit to 32768
ulimit -u 32768
Please do all of the aboves with your attention.
