I am trying to load a new application instance with no luck. Using Linux, where
is the default applications directory supposed to be? I have one in
/etc/macromedia/fms/applications as well as where FMS was originally untarred.
Which one is correct?

And when I am using the fms2_console through the browser, when I click on New
Instance in the application section it doesn't do anything. What is supposed to
happen?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem here, installed FMS2 on Fedora Core 4, server
seems to be working, can add user through the management console, but when I
try to select from available application to create new instance, nothing happen
when I press enter.

Please, can anyone help ?

The applications directory does not do anything by itself. You need to create a
directory within the applications directory.

For eample, let's say you want to have an application named "myChat". The
directory path for the application would be:

/etc/macromedia/fms/applications/myChat

Thanks JayCharles for trying, I obviously knew that it works this way.

But as we stated in this post, instances simply wont get created.

On my side, I found out why. Only the admin portion of the FMS server was
working.

I tried to run manually the commands ..

# ./fmsmaster
./fmsmaster: error while loading shared libraries: libnspr4.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Here is how I fixed it.

# yum install libnspr4.so

After that, I restarted the service.

# service fms restart

Hope this help you too Mudcrab !!
