Question

Simple FMS install/setup

Sorry for the probably ridiculously simple question...

I have FMS and FME setup locally and all is well (works fine my local network).  But now I want to try pushing a "remote" (outside our network) FME source to my local FMS (does that make sense?) but I am not able to connect.

My remote computer can get to my local machine's webroot and FMS admin page but for some reason, it won't let me log in?  Also, when the remote FME trys to push a stream to my local FMS, it says  "Problem with primary server..etc".

Now, I know very little about FMS but my guess is that its a security setting in a config file.  Because, I am using the right IP to hit FMS (because I am able to get to the admin pages) but it just won't seem to accept remote FME connections.  Thoughts?

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying out FMS.

    It pretty much looks like a network issue than to do anything with FMS. FMS does not have any security setting that blocks the incoming connections. Here are few things that you can try to resolve any basic network issues :

    i am not sure what do you mean when you said you are able to access the fms admin pages, but try to ping the FMS server machine from your FME machine. If that is accessible, then try and see if you have any firewall that's blocking the traffic. Since the FME-FMS traffic would be RTMP, you need to make exceptions to port 1935 (on which the traffic goes ) for RTMP, or for your testing purposes , disable the firewall and try to connect. The other option is to change the RTMP port from the default 1935 to port 80, this can be done in fms.ini file under the root installation\conf folder.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Thank you !
