I'm curious to know if anyone has deployed Flash Media Server on a Ubuntu server (Server Edition 7.04). I know the supported linux platform is for the Red Hat flavor, but I'm curious to know if it will work on Ubuntu too. Please advise.

    Has anyone had success in installing FMS 2.04 on Ubuntu Server 7.10?

    It works. The steps: http://www.bluetwanger.de/blog/2006/12/25/installing-flash-media-server-2-on-ubuntu-610-edgy/

    Got it installed...thanks for your help. It turned out to be a simple permissions problem for the untarred installation folder.

    Any suggestions for post-installation steps after a successful install on Ubuntu? The default FMS2 installation seems to work fine for my requirements, at least for now.

    I've installed and used the patch listed but as of yet been unable to connect to the server using the fms2_console. I can ping the ip and port but the console says it cannot connect.
    Any suggestion?

    After getting the patch successfully applied and running the installation, all based on the information above, I was able to use the FMS console just fine by using the default setup. I'm not sure what other information to offer. If I think of something, I'll share. I'm able to browse the FMS console file (BTW - I moved this into the root of my apache folder structure) by browsing via local network IP or public IP.

    you can test those.

    apt-get install libnspr4 libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev
    tar xfz FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz
    cd FMS*
    wget http://www.bluetwanger.de/~mbertheau/fms.patch
    patch -p1 < fms.patch
    sudo ./installFMS

    The patch referenced above didn't work for me with several attempts. Perhaps the code within the patch is no longer functions correctly with the FMS installation package? Any other advice or suggestions?

    Yes I have one, and it work fine.

    Look this link : http://www.bluetwanger.de/blog/2006/12/25/installing-flash-media-server-2-on-ubuntu-610-edgy/

    The only problem that I have is the server don't accepting connexion... I try to fix it.

    Hi

    The link is broken.

    How you install the Flash Media Server in Ubuntu ? I obtain this : "unknown distribution"

    Thank
