I can't get Flash Media server to work. Here's what I've tried:

1. Downloaded and installed the trial versions of Flash Media Server 2 and
Flash Professional 8. I installed both with the default settings for
everything.


2. Downloaded the sample applications here:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html

3. Extraxt the zip file and copy the "samples" and "applications" directories
to C:\Program\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\

4. Start the Flash Media Server 2, and the Flash Media Admin Server 2.

5. Open up tutorial_hello.fla in Flash. When I i run the app with ctrl-enter

I get the error message "Error opening include file NetDebug.as: File not
found.". I Comment the #include "NetDebug.as" line, and try to run it again. It
works fine until I click the connect button. I then get the error message:

"Level: error
Code: NetConnection.Connect.Failed"

I tried changing rtmp: to rtmpt:, still I get the same error message. It seems
to find the application, because when I change

"rtmp:/tutorial_hello/room_01" to for example
"rtmp:/tutorial_helloXXX/room_01", and trace the description property of info,
I get this different error message:
"description: [ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) :
Application (tutorial_helloXXX) is not defined.
code: NetConnection.Connect.Rejected
level: error
level: status
code: NetConnection.Connect.Closed"


What is wrong?

Hi,

From FMS documentation

Supported operating systems
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition
Linux Red Hat Enterprise, Version 3.0
Linux Red Hat Enterprise, Version 4.0

No XP Pro sp2 is in above list. So it's not strange.

Howerver, I just installed FMS in my Fedora Core 3 box(told the istallFMS
scripts it is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 box) and it seems working for some
of the samples I tried including video conference.

I have both FMS and FCS running on XP Home SP2 with no problems at all.

I've never used the sample apps. Perhaps there's a problem there. Have you had success in running any of the other samples?
