macromedia flash flashcom: I am running the developer version on a Window's XP Computer. When I started
FMS up today I was not able to load any applications. I noticed that the
?Flash Media Server (FMS)? Service keeps stopping on its own. I go into
"Services" and start it manually but every time that I attempt to start an
application the service stops. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and
this does not help.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to resolve this problem??

Thank you!

Additional info... the error being logged in System Tools is "FMS has detected
system time is going backwards; shutting down server." Yesterday, I had
temporarily changed the system time and changed it back to the current time.
How is FMS determing that the system time is going backwards even when it is
completely uninstalled and reinstalled? Is there anyway to fix this?

I guess there is a file in document and settings (local application
data/macromedia, you will have to look for it) that you need to delete. As I
remember, it is a file with 0 bytes that keeps time information.

Hello,

I have the same problem but with linux.
Error found in my logs: FMS has detected system time is going
backwards; shutting down server.

I tried to delete all files in tmp, logs... but every time I try to
start the fms, it's shutdown. I tried to change the date of the system
but all the .rot file show the date of the system +1day.. exemple, if
my system is set to 17 march, my log .rot files will show 18 march...

Any idea ?

Thanks for helping

Hello,
I have exactly this problem but with a linux system. I can't find the file I
need to delete in order to be able to start my FMS again. I deleted all the
tmp dir, the logs dir.. the registry dir...

error message:
"FMS has detected system time is going backwards; shutting down server."

The only solution on the net seem to be for windows systems.

Do you have a solution ???

Best regards and many thanks !

Anyone ?
