Unable to log in to admin console with FMS4 on Amazon EC2

I can start an instance of Flash Media Server 4 on Amazon EC2, using the Adobe public AMI, and I am able to view the vod and live media samples without any problems.

I can SSH into the running instance, and I can also bring up the Admin Console web page for that instance in a browser. However I have not been able to log in to the Admin Console.

Before trying to log in to the Admin Console, I have edited /opt/adobe/fms/conf/fms.ini and inserted a username and password, then I saved the modified file.

I have also updated my security group to add a custom TCP rule to open port 1111.

On the Admin Console page login fields I have kept the default server name of Server 1.

For the server address I have tried both localhost and also the public DNS address of my EC2 instance.

I have used the username and password that I put into fms.ini.

But I still can not log in to the Admin Console.

Help, please!

[I have looked at an old item http://forums.adobe.com/thread/678832 related to this topic but that did not help me solve the problem.]

    By default - Admin server is not running on EC2 instance. You need to manually start it after adding username and password in fms.ini. I see that you have entered username and password - but i suppose you might not have started Admin server and hence you are not able to login. Do below step to start admin server on EC2 instance

    Do putty session to you EC2 instance

    Navigate to /opt/adobe/fms

    Run command at terminal >> ./fmsmgr adminserver start

    Just to make sure please run : ps -e | grep fmsadmin - this will let you know if admin process is running or not
