INSTALL FLASH MEDIA SERVER ON LINUX

    Red Hat Linux

        1) Log in as a root user (required to install Flash Media Server).

        2) Locate the installation file, FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz. This file is 
           on your installation CD, or you may have downloaded it.

        3) Copy the file to a directory on your local disk. 

        4) Open a shell window and switch to the directory with the 
           installation file.

        5) Unzip the installation file: 
               unzip flashmediaserver2.tar.gz

        6) Untar the installation file: 
               tar -xf flashmediaserver.tar
           A directory with the installation program is created.

        7) Switch to the following directory: 
               cd flashmediaserver2

        8) Start the installation program with the following command: 
               ./installFMS
           The installation program starts and displays a welcome message. 

        9) Press Enter to start the installation.

        10) Follow the installation instructions on your screen. 
            Enter a user for Flash Media Server processes to run as. The 
            default is the "nobody" user. (The user you select is also the 
            owner of the Flash Media Server files.) Your choices are written to 
            the fms.ini file; you can edit the fms.ini file to modify this and 
            other security properties later, if needed. 

        11) Review the summary of the installation options you have chosen, 
            which are displayed in the installer. The installation is complete. 
            If you configured it to start automatically, the Flash Media Server 
            service starts. 

        12) To start the server manually, type fmsmgr server start. 

        13) To log on to the Admin Service and perform administrative 
            functions, open the management console by opening the 
            fms2_console.swf file.


    Other Linux System
    (the following operating processes have been approved in Fedora Core 7 
    system) 

        The operating processes are the same as the above. 

        Because library "libstdc++.so.5" hasn't been installed in Fedora 
        system, which is an essential for Flash Media Server installation, 
        please install it by using following command before you start the Media 
        Flash Server installation:
            yum install libstdc++.so.5 

        Since the installation script of Flash Media Serve will exam the 
        platform and only RedHatLinux is permitted, please modify the command 
        in step 8 to: 
            ./installFMS -platformWarnOnly

        When the installation finishes, don't start up the FMS. Go into the 
        installation category. By default, it is /opt/macromedia/fms
        Execute the command:
            ldd fmscore

        The result is displayed as following:

                linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
                libssl.so.4 => not found
                libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7fd2000)
                libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0x0449b000)
                libplc4.so => /usr/lib/nspr/libplc4.so (0xb7f93000)
                libplds4.so => /usr/lib/nspr/libplds4.so (0xb7f90000)
                librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0xb7f87000)
                libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f82000)
                libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-
                20050130/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7ecd000)
                libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7eab000)
                libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5-
                20050130/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7ea3000)
                libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d91000)
                lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7feb000)
                libcrypto.so.4 => not found

        libssl.so.4 and libcypto.so.4 which are the essential for can't be 
        found, so the program can't work properly. Please add symbolic link 
        manually:
            cd /usr/lib
            ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8b libssl.so.4
            ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8b libcrypto.so.4

        Last, execute following command to start up FMS.
            service fms start
