Flash Media Server on Debian

[blocker]

Hi All,

can anybody describe how to install FMS on Debian? Or just post some external links. I have searched the Net but didnt found anything suitable, i have tried to force install it, it installs OK, but does not want to run complaining that it can not find the needed libraries.

Its a library HELL

Thanks in advance!!!

I've installed the FMS2 on several Debian Edge systems, and it was not really a hard thing to do.
I did take notes on how I did this, but do not have access to them untill sometime next week. (it's on an other PC)

Ping me next week, and I will post the install instructions for you.

Hi,

unfortunately i have no time to wait, the client sits on my neck, making stress... I have managed to install the FMS, but i still get an error when trying to start the server:

./adminserver start
Starting Adobe Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)

tail -f /var/log/messages
Apr  8 11:16:43 hostname Service[25750]: Server starting...

ps auxw does not give back any sign that the server is running...
when trying to stop it i get an error:

./adminserver stop
Stopping Adobe Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)
fmsadmin: no process killed
fmsadmin: no process killed
./shmrd: relocation error: ./shmrd: symbol regexec, version GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

These are the steps i have performed while installing the server:

apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 libnspr4

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.4
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.7 libssl.so.4

./installFMS -platformWarnOnly

Any help is highly appreciated!

This is what I get when stopping FMS

stream:/opt/macromedia/fms# ./adminserver stop
Stopping Macromedia Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)
Admin Server has shutdown...

stream:/opt/macromedia/fms#

And staring the server.

stream:/opt/macromedia/fms# ./adminserver start
Starting Macromedia Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)

stream:/opt/macromedia/fms#

The '/var/log/messages' looks like this.

Apr 8 17:26:20 stream 257[1509]: Server stopped .
Apr 8 17:26:47 stream 257[1892]: Server starting...

and ps auxw | grep fms

Sorry again.. I still do not have access to my notes.

Not sure if it's still needed, but this is how I did the install on Debian Etch (and FMS2 is working fine)

./installFMS -platformWarnOnly

I got an error that libstdc was missing, so I did an

apt-get install libstdc++5

After this I restarterd the install with './installFMS -platformWarnOnly', and answerd all the install questions.

When the install finished I needed to install some extra things:

apt-get install libnspr4-dev
apt-get install libssl0.9.7

Then I created some needed symbolic links for libssl and libcrypto.

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.7 libssl.so.4
ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.4

And started FMS2 with:

/etc/init.d/fms start
